When I cut my finger on accident, for example, I l**k the blood. Is this a characteristic of a “vampire.”?

Question

I do not porously cut myself to taste my own blood, but when I do have a cut I do not hesitate l**k or suck the blood.

Answer 1

No. For humans, the presence of other people's blood entering the mouth causes a gag reflex, forcing the drinker to vomit, but the reflex is void with your own blood. On the contrary, it is actually a survival instinct to keep blood inside of you, the easiest way being to stick to blood back in the body through the mouth. Chimps do the same thing.

Vampires need other people's blood. We do like the taste, but our own blood doesn't give us any sort of boost.

Answer 2

No, it's perfectly normal.

Answer 3

My cuts at least clot faster if I l**k them. I think l*****g is completely natural for most creatures and aides in keeping the wound free from gross debris (gross meaning large-scale like dirt, not disgusting).

Answer 4

its part of our human instinct. its natural when it happens to you.

But, if you intend to l**k others wound blood, oh yeah! probably. =)

can't imagine.!.

Answer 5

Uh no, thats normal. MAMMALS DO IT ALL THE TIME. YOU ARE A MAMMAL.
