Answer 2

This is a very unusual question.

On the other-hand this is why Yahoo Answers is useful for everyone.

If you say cut your finger or tongue etc and taste blood etc, that is no problem. If perhaps you had a terrible bloody nose and swallowed alot of blood, you could actually drown in your own fluids. SO our bodies are not designed for this. Lastly with diseases like HIV and Hepatitis B&C it could be deadly.

Cows blood is the staple diet of at least one tribe of herders in the arid plains of Africa. They shoot their cow in the neck with an arrow every morning and drain some blood into a gourd. Apparently it's a great source of protein and other nutrients for them.

It depends how much you drink. If you're thinking about taking up vampirism,check out a site on it first because vampirism has it's risks. Vampirists can order pure-bred animal blood in the mail from the slaughterhouse. If you just do it from a cut, scrape etc, it's totally fine. However, if you drink cups of it, it can cause constipation, upset stomach etc.
