Day 16: #HAWMC Misinformation

Today I will share four TRUTHS about hemophilia...or are they?

Can you pick out the LIE?

1. Hemophiliacs can spontaneously bleed.

2. Hemophiliacs can have joint, muscle and external bleeds.

3. Hemophiliacs CAN play sports.

4. Hemophiliacs can bleed to death from a paper cut.


Did you pick out the LIE?

It's number 4! While paper cuts hurt and can bleed like crazy for even a non bleeder surface cuts for a hemophiliac will heal using typical first aid treatment. A hemophiliac bleeds the same amount as a non bleeder HOWEVER they bleed longer.
