What is the cause of blood clotting immediately after drawing blood?
Blood clotting, or coagulation, is the body's natural reaction. If it didn't clot, you could possibly keep on bleeding until you bled to death. This helps to prevent that from happening. In humans, coagulation usually involves a cellular platelet and a protein factor . The platelets forms a sort of "plug" over the opening, like the prick of the needle from drawing blood. The protein factors then reinforce this "plug" of sorts to help keep it solid until the opening heals, scabs over, closes, ect.
