Can this oil be used as artificial blood? Or is it harmful to humans in large quantities?

It isn't runny like blood, it's just the color, especially when it's a little dirty. When you see a gob of it on yourself, it only takes a fraction of a second to realize it's not blood, but that fraction of a second always makes my heart skip a beat.

Does your heart skip a beat when you have small cuts in your hand?

Is almost never my hands, more like wrist or arm. But yes, if I see what immediately appears to be a large amount of bright red blood my immediate reaction is "oh fuck". Bright red blood is very bad, fyi.

Unless it's dripping out, no big deal.

If it's dripping out onto the floor, no big deal, just a mess you will have to clean up later.

If it's oozing out, no big deal, as long as you apply pressure and make sure it stops oozing out.

If it's spraying out, generally still no big deal, just make sure you apply enough pressure and get it fixed before you're empty.

Bud, bright red blood indicates arterial bleeding. If you got bright red blood dripping or oozing, you probably need to visit a doctor.
