Ahh...it happens all the time to all of us. Just drink lots of alcohol to thin your blood and you'll be fine.
 

Uh, if your stool has blood in it, it's time for a colonoscopy. NOW. I'm not joking, bloody stool is one of the signs of colon cancer, among other things.

Don't worry about it unless it persists... unless you have hemorrhoids, then you ought to do something about that.

If it's from something you did, there is definitely a chance of infection...If its from something you have, an infection would not be your prime concern as much as finding out what it is. You might just have a hemorrhoid or something.

for the bright red problem, don't go to a dr unless you like strangers poking you in the sphincter, then telling you to eat more fiber.
