A member asked:
Would i be considered crazy for drinking blood?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Your own blood?: Hematophagy is the practice of feeding on blood. Ingestion of blood from animals is common in some cultures and taboo in others. I have had some psychiatric patients who drank their own blood. There are no health benefits to drinking your own blood. Some might consider you drinking your own blood to be odd.
