I want to do the blood test as well besides the nitrite test but I don't know how much blood is needed. I know that 0,1 g of sn is needed from what I read on the guides here but the amount of blood isn't mentioned at least from what I've seen. I know that I have to cut myself with a knife, let the blood drop on something like a cup or a dish, put 0,1 g of sn and see if the blood turns brown. What exactly should I cut, my hand? I never cut myself before so I'm not sure what and how to cut. There are a lot of veins in a hand so if I cut there I have to be careful not to cut one of the veins. I should probably cut an area where there's only skin with no veins but there's few areas like that.

You can use a diabetic lancing device to get a drop, that's all you need, for less than $10.

You can find information on this in these two threads:



You don't need a lot of blood.

Just remember that the blood test is not entirely reliable.
Test strips are better, but also not perfect.

I might just make a small cut with a knife on one of my fingers, it shouldn't be difficult

I understand, thank you for the informations. Also can I make a cut on one of my fingers or do I need blood from a vein? It's less likely to hit a vein if I make a cut on a finger instead of a hand.
Sorry my mistake, fingers have veins as well. I want to cut in an area where it's just skin, I don't want to accidentaly hit a vein but I'm not sure where
