Blood on carpet

Somebody stepped on broken glass and now there's a crime scene/horror movie. I've tried an Oxi Clean Maxforce gel stick and Oxi Clean powder. I'm running out of both but I do have a carpet machine that uses water and solution. It's an ugly old carpet, lowest common denominator beige, but still...

The only thing I can really think of getting rid of it, is like hydroproxygen mix with a dab of water.
 
They have my blood so thin that I bruise and bleed with just about any sort of abrasion. I made mention of this a while back and my friend brought me a pump spray bottle of hydrogen peroxide topical solution to clean up after myself. His wife, also suffering from medically thinned blood, had fallen in the night and was knocked out from a head contusion. He discovered her passed out on the floor later in the night. She was rushed to the hospital and fully recovered from the contusion and cut on her head. It was later the next day that my buddy cleaned up the dried blood on the carpet. He used the hydrogen peroxide solution for the job. I have since used it as well. It's amazing how well it works. The trick is to blot away the treated stain and not rub it in.
 
I bleed all over and often don't notice it until I have made a mess. I attended a pool party last summer that had a rock wall along one side of the pool as a retaining wall. I was sitting on the wall and tossing a ball to my great grandkids in the pool. Over and over we tossed the ball back and forth. Little did I know I had scrapped the back of my legs on the rocks and it looked like someone bled out there before I noticed. We tried to clean the rocks but they absorbed the blood and looked like hell. Man I was embarrassed.
Some hydrogen peroxide might have worked... I KNOW it would have helped.
 
It should start acting on the blood immediately. Take a clean cloth of paper towel and dab the stain and see if it's lifting out of the carpet. I'd start on the outskirts of the stain and work my way towards the most concentrated area.
