If you cut your (clean) finger and it bled a wee bit, would you lick/suck the blood?

nah, not that I think it's bad or anything, I have just always used a tissue or a burrito wrapper or whatever was around

I do. I just did earlier after I tore off a hangnail.. You’d think I’d learned my lesson after developing a very painful paronychia and having it lanced followed by a course of antibiotics, but no. 😩

Nope, my mouth has tons of microbes that I would not like to introduce into a wound. Chances of it ended badly are pretty slim, but when I know soap and water are a perfectly fine way to clean a small cut, there's no reason why I would put my saliva anywhere on it

Somewhere between unlikely and definitely not. I don't particularly like blood, it's gory, nor tasting or ingesting bodily fluids and other kinds of bodily secretions in general.
