Could Papercut kill someone?!
Question: Sometimes when I read a new comicbook/novel, I got a papercut. Is it dangerous? Is there any possibility that this papercut were so deep that I could bleed to death?
PS: Could I sue someone for papercut?

Depends on the paper. I doubt you could get a kill from standard book paper...BUT!
As I work with paper on a daily basis, I think I could get a good combination for you to try.
Find yourself some coated text paper of a high weight; something you would find on a trade paperback, only without the gloss coating. You can get this paper in a semi gloss, gloss, or matte. Take a piece of this paper....like something you'd see a nice business card made of...and find a nice long piece of it. 11x17, 12x18....something big.
Now, render your victim unconscious.
I think you may be able to swipe the "vic's" neck open that way. I've gotten paper cuts from this paper, and man....it sucks.
not unconscious, et al.
Just on the hand.
I'm sure it would really suck if it happened the way I described.
Sue someone? No. Can it be dangerous, it depends. You could get a staph infection, but it's a long shot. If you're healthy, chances are you aren't going to die.
unless you have severe hemophilia, and the cut was deep, you will not bleed to death.
However, you can get a deadly infection if you do not sanitize the papercut.
I doubt you can sue someone for it.
No, no, and no.
But, from the sounds of it, you may want to keep the bandaids handy.
Yes, but extremely rare. Watch for signs of blood poisoning and go to a doctor quickly if they are present. Usually depends on the kind of paper: envelopes and money are the worst because they have been handled by so many people.
No!!! Unless you get a gash and it doesn't stop bleeding. My advice: Don't sue anyone!
Possibly if you are a hemophiliac, and no, since you were careless enough to get the paper cut while reading the comic book, it is entirely your fault.
only if you have a disease that when you get cut you your blood doesn't clott. you would know if you had it
people who look to sue for things as trivial (and ridiculous) as a paper cut are reasons that malpractice insurance is so high resulting in high premiums and unattainable insurance and health care for many Americans.
Yes, a person can die from a paper cut but the circumstances would be very strange. First a person would have to be completely or severely immunocompromised (Late stage AIDS, Born w/o immune system, etc.). Then the paper would have to have some sort of bacterium (Staph probably) to cause infection. Infection could then cause septicemia. But the chances of this would probably be 1 in a billion paper cuts.
paper cuts are not that serious a little pressure will normally stop the bleed
imagine a paper cut to the tongue from licking an envelope,
seen that happen ---- Ouch!!!,
A papercut to the eyeball --
The Jackass crew play with papercuts Ever watched the movies
No you couldn't sue, If you tried you could be charged with wasting polce time
