I can say from experience, it'll take something more solid and less porous than a tarp. I'm assuming blood will flow similarly to urine, like when I hauled sheep in the Odyssey. A double layer of new tarp didn't stop it. Now there's a lovely smell whenever it gets hot in the sun (I live in Texas...).
