When I was little, I heard that if you bled too much that you die. I had the bad habit of picking my scabs at that time & I knew about my period. I didn't know that your body makes more cells and that you have to bled a lot at one time to die. I thought that if I kept picking my scabs, I'd die because I lost too much blood because of my period. I was such a retard.
