shyt look like fix-a-flat for humans

Which concerns me, because when you use fix-a-flat on a tire, You gotta replace that tire afterwards, yeah it stops the leak, but it also fills the cavity with gel.
How are they going to remove all this gel inside you afterwards? Video doesn't explain. Injecting yourself with algae has to have some side effects

Will preface this with I have experience with traumas and the hospital/emergency setting but I have no idea about this product past that video in OP

1. If you’re bleeding out, nothing else matters. You do some sheisty shyt to make sure the bleeding stops however you can.

2. Even if this was to enter your bloodstream, your body could likely deal with it. If not, again, stopping the bleeding infinitely more important. Once stabilized you can worry about treating for possible infection

Comparing a bleeding human to a flat tire is funny but doesn't quite work here. This seems to be topical application to the wound, they aren't injecting people's veins with it and filling them up with algae bases goo.

As for your skepticism of algae being used medically, you do know that penicillin came from mold? Why turn your nose up at where the benefit comes from if it's been proven to work?

The bolded part was your own interpretation. My skepticism isn't about algae its about injecting yourself with a foreign substance. and what happens to it afterwards.
Also they mentioned using this for bullet wounds. how is it going to stop the bleeding if they only cover the wound? They have in an injector for a reason. bullet wounds open internal cavities and cause internal bleeding. seems obvious the intent is to inject this inside of that cavity and fill it. If they were just using this topically, its not really all that ground breaking. They already have topical gels for bleeding.

I find your lack of hype disturbing.
