The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Ya i will have to agree with that a pint is a lot...i have drank a lot before..i got in a car accident and was hit in the mouth....i remember hvaing to swallow my blood every two seconds on an empty stomach...so i got sick really easily

Better to donate a pint to the blood bank.

Most sangs take much less.

Let us not forget that the human body has limits on anything that it consumes. You drink water and your liver can shut down. Blood should be no different. Being a much richer liquid it would be logical to conclude that the body would not be able to process nearly as much of it.

well if you drink too much of any fluid you will vomit because your stomach can hold only so much fluid, and well Blood is just that Blood. Your body will only take so much of it.

I agree with what the others have said , if you drink to much of any liquid it will make you sick.. Not actually sure how much you can ingest before that happens. A cup perhaps. A pint is alot to ingest at one time.

It has always been my understanding that humans are not able to effectively digest blood. A small amount can make you sick. The book Fight Club mentions that a pint is too much.

My brother had a tear in his esophagus and his body expelled all of the blood through vomiting.

I do not know if others blood makes us sick.

I think that as with everything else..moderation is key. If you are drinking enough to make you sick..that is too much whether it be alchohol or blood or even water.

I do not drink the blood I just lick it, nothing more, I do swallow what I lick but its not alot, and as stated before a liquid is a liquid, the only difference is that blood as alot fo iron and the stomac react faster to iron then other elements.

I have never drank anything close to a pint of blood maybe like a half a cup that was not my own and it did not make me sick but i would think a pint would make u very sick

My father always says,"Everything in moderation". too much of anything can harm you.. There was a lady in south Florida that drank too much water in a water drinking contest..It killed her.. this is a true story...it happened about 4 months ago..

i dont feed unless its absolutely nessasery... dont wory i dont hurt the donor...

the only time ive gotten sick from it was the first time i had it...a long time ago...

i guess there is something in the bak of our minds that tell us when enough is enough

Everyones body can handle different amounts. But those that feed often pretty much know there limits. Think about when you have had a nosebleed, if you let the blood flow into your stomach you get sick. It is basically the same thing.

A pint of blood are you 4 real ohh yuck lol I dont drink blood but have friends that do but very little amounts cause blood is protein but too much is not good and you can get very ill if drinking that much blood at once .

i dont actually know how much blood you can drink as i dont drink blood but i am a donor...i know that after about 3-5mins i start to feel abit weak or lite headed and they stop...sometimes they stop before that...so im guessing you'd need to stop drinking once your donor or whatever starts to feel lite headed or wreakish!

Three Ounces is your max before the body starts trying to force you to up chuck and wants to shut down from the things it can't re absorb.

I am no expert but, I would have to say that Blood would be like any other liquid; your stomach can only hold so much before it reacts violently and you vomit to empty it out.

I drink a doner's blood every so often, but it's only a bit at a time, never a cup or pint. U can vomit becoz of drinkin blood, as said above, enough liquid can make u puke.

My doner wil even prick her finger and squeese it out for me in class, lol but that's only becoz she lyks it o.O

I guess this depends on the person. For me, any amount is too much. Sounds too close to cannibalism to me. I'd rather leave it to fiction and have a cold Vanilla Coke if I'm thirsty.

Because of the high amount of minerals in blood, the stomach rejects it as being to difficult to process if you drink too much. About a pint is the actual amount an average person can ingest before the stomach gives up and makes you vomit.

Ok, I've tried googling blood drinking and with everything I just read, I am yet to read anything stating that drinking too much blood is bad for you or will cause health problems.

What I mostly read about in each search was that you need to make sure the blood you're drinking isn't diseased in any way, shape or form.

And the fact that people should only drink blood for energy purposes and nothing else.

It's definitely not a fable. If you do drink from someone other than yourself, I highly suggest that you have your donor get tested for any serious illnesses, like an STD or even HIV. Do your research before getting involved in something that might lead to serious health problems if not right away but later on in life.

for me, ususally a few mouthfuls is plenty... but in earnest.... all i really need is a taste.

I don't drink blood that often and when I do--it's my own. lol. I do believe however, that you can get sick from drinking too much of someone elses blood--therefore making you vomit

Why so many answers about getting sick on other people's blood? Don't we have simular blood.. not counting the lovely sickness that are out there. Some people may have higher concentrates of a certain mineral, but altogether it is the same composition, right?

to mee blood is just like food if you eat too much you get sick same is as you were to drink too much blood usaley depends on the oersion

It is a medical fact that drinking too much blood can lead to a form of iron poisoning, as blood is high in the mineral, which we need, but ingesting it in large amounts can be hazardous.

Well its true, my brother drank alot of blood to show off in front of his friends and i had to take him to hospital.

i dont know how much is to much but i bleave you drink as much as your body can handle before anything starts to happen

I agree with what the others have said , if you drink to much of any liquid it will make you sick.

i agree, licking is a lot more fun than just opening a vein. a lot less messy too!

I hardly get any since I don't have any donor so when I finally have to feed upon myself, I only drink a little.

I would think if you drank that much you would get ill.

I've often wondered that myself

I havent drank other's blood but once I had a nose bleed and it was a bad one. I was hemraging and I swallowed alot of blood. I vomited and then the next day some passed through. It was dark in color.

If you drink a lot, yes, you will get sick. That's why you feed in moderation.

i wish i new

a pint a day keeps the doctor away lol

ok...it is true that if you drink lots of blood (it is usually when you are dying from internal bleeding) that you can get sick because blood will go directly to your veins and arteries, but the other drops or pints that you have taken in, cant filter like the rest of the other blood can and will make you sick because your stomache wont be able to digest it properly

well drinking too much of anything can make you sick, and Blood well it definately will make you sick, I mean if too much blood gets into your stomach you can have a serious problem.

It's like drinking two gallons of milk in an hour. It just can't be done with out throwing up at one point. So I think a few pints might be enough.

If you do not drink blood, then why are you so interested in limits?

Just a question...

Echo...
