A member asked:
What happens if you swallow too much blood?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It might be vomited: Up in what looks like coffee ground material. It may cause melena - black, tarry, foul smelling stool. It could cause nausea. If you are swallowing large amounts of blood - you likely need prompt medical care (unless you are deliberately drinking blood from a source other than your body).
