I spoke to one of my nurses and she told me that its most likely due to the irritation breaking open some small blood vessels and then when I gag so hard the pressure forces some blood. It's not like a gusher, just some blood in the mucous. I only live 4 minutes from the hospital so I will keep an eye on it and if it changes or gets worse I will hit the ER.
