    Try to avoid eating rat poison for a while because it will only make the bleeding worse.

    I'd recommend a course of leeches

    You might need to give the thumb-sucking a rest for a while.
    Sucking your thumb would prevent infection actually.

    As for EO, I would suggest getting some maggots and wrapping them around your thumb.

    Some will be pleased to hear that:

    a) it has pretty much stopped bleeding
    b) I wasn't drunk, but had just got in from a 48 hourer at client co
    c) it doesn't yet seem to be infected

    Are you up to date on tetanus jabs?

    Instead of attending to his wound, he spent time posting on CUK using his no-doubt grotty and bacillus-laden keyboard, and so will probably develop sepsis in the next 48 hours or so.
    In which case we can nominate him for a Darwin award in his memory
