What did Elizabethans actors use to recreate the effect of someone being stabbed?

Disgusting as it may seem, they used real blood in a bladder disguised under the costume. When the actor was stabbed, real blood poured out onto the stage. Since London was full of slaughterhouses ("shambles" was their word for them), these ingredients were easy to come by. The people responsible for cleaning the stage and costumes couldn't have been happy about it though.
