RE: peroxide for blood trails
The only time that I really found the peroxide to really come in handy is identifying blood from other substances such as berry juice etc. There are an aweful lot of times around here anyway when you have to make a judgement if what you have is blood (or often a clot), or a berry that has started to rot. Same color and consistancy as blood. But when you hit it with peroxide, the blood or clot will bubble.
