How do I prevent Death Stranding from auto-equipping blood bags?

Question

I want to save my blood bags for fighting BTs with hematic grenades. I rarely fall down, but once I do the game always equips a blood bag and starts giving me a transfusion even when I specifically and consciously did not have a bag equipped.
The description of the blood bag makes it sound as if new bags will only be switched if you empty an equipped bag, but this is not the behavior I'm seeing:

I have hundreds of cryptobiotes that I never get to eat because the game always wastes my blood bags by equipping one any time I so much as scrape a knee.
Is there a way to stop this from happening?

It's not possible in the current version. If you have a blood bag anywhere on your character they will be automatically equipped and used. Keeping them in utility pouch only helps to reduce carried volume - they won't occupy "small" item slot on your backpack or suit.
You can work-around it by always keeping your blood bags in your vehicle nearby.
If you are worried about keeping enough grenades, later in the game you will be able to upgrade your backpack with additional grenades pockets.
