Safe to swallow blood?
« on: April 12, 2010, 01:24:42 PM »
No im not a Twilight vampire wanna be

I just had a tooth extracted and it was one of the back ones and well I had some gauze on it and when i got home i changed them out...i went through 4 gauze and its still kind of bleeding...quite a bit

And I was wandering if its safe to swallow your blood...I heard from a friend that enough blood can make you sick..I was just wandering because the said not to spit because that can cause an air pocket and that would really hurt...so is it safe?

you got it wrong, lemme clear it up.
Ingesting a lot of blood will upset your stomach, wont poison you or anything.
You don't want to spit cause it could dislodge the blood clot thats in that crater your tooth used to be in. If it gets removed, you'll get dry-socket which is painful and will take longer to heal.
Those painkillers have seemed to make you paranoid [dbz]

:D Flash knows his stuffs!

Yeah, blood is completely safe to swallow; as is just about any organic material, and people it a lot more of it then they realize; meat (and not just red meat) always has blood on it.

Blood is mostly water, protein, sugar (glucose that is), hormones, various minerals, and different levels of oxygen and/or carbon dioxide, as well as the ever so obvious blood cells and platelets.

Blood is a thick and heavy substance, that when swallowing too much is harsh on the stomach and can cause upset stomach or vomiting. To induce vomiting, at least two cups of blood have the be swallowed in an average adult.

You're safe; no tooth should bleed two cups of blood, and if it does, it certainly shouldn't do it all at once, before any of the other blood has worked its way through your digestive system.
