ISN’T IT SAFE TO DRINK YOUR OWN MENSSTRUAL BLOOD? 

The menstrual blood travels differently from the regular blood and has fewer blood cells than regular blood. 

Menstrual blood contains mucus, bacteria and uterine tissues during a woman’s period. 

Drinking any kind of blood will cause no harm if there is no disease. Consuming more than 1 teaspoon of the iron-rich liquid can lead to iron overload. This is a deadly condition known as hemachromotosis. 

Hemochromatosis refers to a condition where too much iron is built up in the body. This can cause organ damage or even death.

If drinking another person’s blood, a danger posed is through potential bloodbourne pathogens (like HIV).
