Answers:
Blot with paper towels to remove as much of the stain as possible before washing with cool salted water (1tsp to 1 pint water). Rinse with clear water. If the stain remains, presoak using with an oxygen based product before washing again with a granulated laundry powder. Do not use hot water, dry the item in a dryer or use a hot iron as this will set any remaining stain. Coffee and tea stains on cottons and linens can also be removed by soaking in borax and water (1 Tbsp. borax in 1cup of warm water). Wine and fruit juice respond well to be cleaned with a 1 part water, 1 part ammonia solution. If a tobacco stain is stubborn, try applying a solution of 1 tsp. sodium thiosulphate mixed with 1cup warm water. Let soak and wash as normal.
If the item cannot be washed, sprinkle with pepsin powder or spread with a thick paste of corn starch and water, let dry and brush off. Repeat if necessary. Stains on wool, rayon and silk should be taken to the dry cleaner for spot treatment. Often home attempts to remove the stain will remove the protein stain but leave a water stain, which is harder to remove. In a pinch you can hold the affected area in the steam from a rapidly boiling kettle or steam iron taking care that no droplets of water reach the item. Shake well and restore the nap by rubbing with a cloth of similar fabric.

i tried to be quick. hope this helps!
Try soaking it in milk!
Try washing it with dishsoa. Scrub the soap directly onto the spot. Good Luck!
soak it in cold water
Change ties
Try the Shout Wipes, available in most drug stores (Walgreens, CVS, Osco, etc.) If that does not help, you can try soaking the spot with Oxyclean with a bit of water, but you may want to do it at home as it can get messy.
Try Oxy Clean
dilute H202 (hydrogen peroxide) solution.
The peroxide breaks down the platelets and hemoglobin( it "bleaches" the red out.
Try peroxide. If it's leaves a noticeable stain, get another tie asap.

I would scarp the tie and soak it put another one on
