If the blood is fresh and scant, spit sometimes works on cotton and
linen. However it can still stain. I'm sure we've all experienced this
doing embrodiery or handsewing a seam. 

Some Victorian and Edwardian books on household remedies do include
natural cleaning remedies. I've heard of vinager and baking soda having
some effect, but it might harm even colorfast fabrics.
