DRINKING BLOOD AND DRINKING A PARTNER’S BLOOD

Any Health Benefits

In my opinion, there are no proven health benefits of drinking or ingesting blood as the human body does not have the right digestive system to break down blood. However, some people partners who tend to drink a few drops of their partner’s blood report a slight increase in their energy due to the oxygen and iron in the blood. 

Risks or Dangers of Drinking Someone Else’s Blood and Why This Should Be Avoided

From my studies, here are some potential dangers or risks of drinking blood;

Blood can be toxic when ingested as the body lacks the right mechanism to digest it. Its high in iron; taking high amounts of blood can cause an iron overdose as the body fails to clear or secrete the high iron levels, a health condition known as hemochromatosis. Excess iron can result in dehydration, liver damage, decreased blood pressure, and the formation of liquids in the lungs, heart, and nervous conditions. I strongly advise you to avoid drinking human or your partner’s blood as it has no benefit to your health and can be fatal if taken in excess amounts.

Using the acquired academic and professional experience, I advise patients with various complaints about mental health - depressed mood, nervousness, lack of energy and interest, sleep disorders, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts and anxieties, difficulty concentrating, and stress. In my free time, I love to paint and go on long walks on the beach. One of my latest obsessions is sudoku – a wonderful activity to calm an unease mind.
