When you get a deep cut or wound it’s always best to administer first aid as soon as possible to avoid infection.
The first thing you need to do is stay calm and make your way to the closest first aid kit. Next, be sure to hold a clean cloth against the wound, applying pressure, while at the same time being sure you are holding the injured area above your heart.
If your cloth or bandage becomes soaked, leave the first one there and apply a fresh one just on top. Nest, gently rinse the cut with water, no soap or antiseptics.
If the wound continues to bleed after five minutes, it might be time to seek professional medical attention.
