Huge questions....do not mean to offend anyone!!!
Okay so first of all..has anybody really tried blood on here? For real no kidding to acting no nothing....
And if you have, have you ever been afraid to get blood poisoning?
did you know that it's harder to get sick threw swallowing something then it is to breath it... the acid in your stomach most of the time will destroy most pathogens before they make it near anything..
umm. . . .you do know that blood poisiong is the result of infection, not drinking blood. . .yeah there are a lot of blood born pathogens, and really serious ones (like Hep C and HIV) but there are also way way more Airborne and waterborne and even contact pathogens. SO don't know how you want to take this, but people are always so very concerned about what disease you can get from blood, and never stop to think what you ccan get by just sharing AIR with a person
Oh! Ok, then. I think everyone does that occasionally. Yeah, blood doesn't really taste bad to humans. My paternal great-grandfather worked in a butchering house; when he or the other workers got tired or hungry, they'd just take a cup of cow's blood from the drain trough and drink it - lotsa energy and protein in it.
Women in the 1700's used to do the same thing, because it supposedly increased fertility.
Human sensibilities were not always as fussy as they are now.
That is funny - blood poisoning...oh my. Ummm, yeah, the cells of vampires consume the cells of bacteria and viruses in the same manner that they consume red blood cells. Vampire do not "digest" food - it is absorbed/fed on at the cellular level. There is no germ strong enough to withstand an attack from a vampire's cells.
I've tried this in petri dishes - start with a good E Coli culture, then add a skin sample from my arm...three hours later the skin sample has grown, and the E. Coli strain is gone.
Vampires getting blood pathogens is one of those myths spread by books and movies to let humans thing they have a fighting chance. Now, the awakened vampires may be more vulnerable, because they don't truly need blood - their bodies are just being reshaped by their souls to better fit past-life existance as a vampire. So they are not quite as hardly, as they are really just blood-craving mortals.
Yes, people on here have 'tried' blood. Regularly, in fact.
Pets??? What a minute, aren't you supposed to be a vampire?
We do NOT keep humans as PETS. That would be illegal, unethical, and very very very weird. We EAT humans, or we have them as friends - even lovers occasionally. Some of us do not like humans, some even hate them. But I don't think such a foolhardy notion would even occur to the average vampire!
