Thanks to the miracle that is potassium ferrate and some chemical polymers, yes. @holaMau otherwise I'd have bled all the way to the E.R.

Yep, poured that clotting powder right on all by myself ;-) It's incredible stuff and really saved me from hours in an E.R.

Oooh, this is the first time I've heard if potassium ferrate. More effective than typical styptic?

It's an old battlefield trick fancied up into a powder/gel - "Wound Seal" is a common brand - everyone should keep them around!
