My friend told me that when he got bleeding, he used his Sewing Kit (not the leather one), clicked "patch self up" and the blood magically stopped. When I didn't believe him and repeated the procedure (was not bleeding), it turned on an animation of bandaging, and after that I've lost my "soaked", "healthy", "energized", "hydrated" statuses and got yellow "sick".
Nevertheless, I was still getting "I am soaked through" messages for some time. After about ~15 minutes, the "sick" status was gone, and I was again "healthy", "energized", "wet".
Have to check this with actually "bleeding" status, but the question is - should patching up with Sewing kit really hide all statuses except for "sick"? And should it really give "sick" status, maybe just make it impossible to use it without bleeding effect?
