Answer 13

Actually if you ingest too much blood you can get blood poisoning. This is why they have to be very careful when people donate blood at places like the American Red Cross to be sure they know what kind of blood the donor has (type A, B, or O for instance) so that they can be sure when they give it to the patient their body won't reject it. People can have life threatening reactions to blood types that don't mix with theirs if enough is put into their system. I don't think it takes a bunch either (less then a pint of blood ingested at once can do it I believe).

Answer 14

well we're not supposed to...

but i'm not sure..

i l**k my own... =/ but i wouldn't do to others

Answer 15

Why would you want too..?

Answer 16

no, it will just get digested anyway. Its just like eating a very rare steak, I guess. But drinking others blood is kind of creepy...  

Answer 17

No, its not bad for you...

but the person you drank blood might overbleed.

On the other hand, drinking blood doesn't do anything.

Red blood cells, fats and sugar and antibodies...

The blood goes to your digestive system, not circulatory.
