Is it OK to swallow your own blood after tooth extraction?

If perhaps there is welling up of blood from a lower extraction or dripping from an upper extraction, place in new moistened (with warm water) gauze pads for 20-30 minutes. Do not spit out, swallow your saliva or you will disturb the clot and you will bleed. Don’t rinse out, or you will bleed.

For LifeStraw personal, close the bottom of the cap and open the top lid to pour solution in through the mouthpiece, closing cap afterward. Let stand for 5 minutes.

Can you use a LifeStraw in salt water?

While the LifeStraw may remove all parasites and bacteria, it does nothing about salt. It cannot be used to make ocean water or other salt water drinkable, and since urine typically has a high salt level, it’s going to be like drinking from a salt shaker.
