Blood
Like a scene from The Exorcist, I once spewed a stomach-full of blood all over a charming nurse as I came round after a major dental operation. Tell us your tales of red, red horror.

does anyone know why we faint at the sight of blood?
is there some kind of biological / primitive survival explanation? seems to me like the least useful thing you could do when bleeding to death is be unconscious

That's rather scientific of you
As for me, I felt faint reading the qotw answers while actual blood doesn't bother me. I would like to know why as well.

Slow your heartbeat?
Don't rightly know, but I assume you'd bleed less if you aren't running about.

Human 'Cleanliness' Nature
You pass out so that all mess and gore is contained within the single space opposed to one panic-strickenly-spraying and/or splattering your platelet-gravy around the room and faces of the nearby elderly/children.
Clever really.

If you faint/pass out then your body can slow your heartbeat and draw the blood from the extremities to your organs.
Of course this backfires if you cut yourself whilst crossing a railway line.
