I’ve been bleeding ingame, and I go to use a rag, and it says I’m not bleeding enough to use it. I’m down to one bar of health on that part from blood loss. What’s wrong with this picture?

It’s probably because of the bleeding update that ties bleeding to an individual body part. I’m currently working on a [rework](https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/3082) for bite/infection to tie them to body parts as well, and this is one of the other fixes that I’ll be rolling up along into it as I go.
