YES
I cut a small tip off the end of my finger last week when I was chopping veges for dinner. However it went deep enough to expose beneath the skin. For a few seconds it did not bleed, but then it slowly started seeping. After half an hour I had soaked a few tissues with it and it did not seem to be slowing. I looked up on the net and found Cayenne Pepper to stop bleeding. I thought cayenne pepper helped to stimulate blood flow, but decided to give it a go anyway. I sprinkled a thin film of cayenne pepper on a piece of plaster, and then dusted some directly onto the wound. Then I stuck the plaster on. WARNING - it stings! For a few minutes, maybe less than 5 minutes, it really stung. Apparently you can use less pepper, but I wanted to make sure to use enough. Withing one minute it had stopped bleeding. I was amazed how quickly and effectively it worked. It has been 5 days now, and the wound is healing quickly and beautifully. I also sprayed some colloidal silver on the wound to ensure that there is no infection and no scarring.
