Blood question?


Question:
what happens if you swallow someone else blood in a small amount and the person's blood if different from your own blood type?

Answers:
Nothing. It won't enter your bloodstream in a quantity large enough to even make a difference. It will just go right through you, you won't notice anything different.
if you are swallowing it, you will just digest it like you would anything else you eat or drink.
Nothing will happen. Unless the person has a communicable disease you're alright.
Nothing. The fact that you swallowed it, and it ended up in your stomach, means it will be passed by your elimination system. The only time you should worry, is if a non compatible blood type is actually injected into your circulatory system. Hope this helps.

Nothing.

Even if the blood is infected the stomach will kill anything and digest the blood. Your stomach and intestine is a major part of your immune system, attacking anything that gets inside.

The only time you are going to have a problem would be if you had an open wound or sore and the infected blood got into it. Or if you had a transfusion of the wrong type of blood.

Drinking blood, any amount of it, won't harm you, and is high in iron. The stomach acids will kill most of the active parts of that blood and digest the rest.
nothing will happen
You can ingest any type of blood without fear of harm to your body. However, that does not eliminate the fact that a bacteria, STD/STI can be transferred to you. If this is a true event, get tested for STI's/STD's immediately, it is better safe then sorry. There are many STI's/STD's that can be cured, but there are many that can cause permanent damage if left untreated. And yes, there are some that have no cure, however, there is a treatment.
It'll go right through your GI system like everything else. I hope this person doesn't have anything infectious.
Maybe you should rethink doing this for a second time. =)

Good luck!
Swallowing someones blood that is a different blood type will not react with your blood, but you are at risk of picking up a disease such as hepatitis or HIV.
Hi there,
Absolutely nothing will happen. Swallowing someone else's blood does not interfere with your own blood type or circulatory system. However, I advise that you are tested for HIV. This is an extremely contractive disease that is contracted through blood to blood contact.

Best of luck,

You'll just digest it like you would anything else you eat or drink.
blood type has no relevance at all, swallowing blood in general is a bad idea though as it can carry quite a few infectious diseases. blood is also hard on the stomach, uncooked blood of any kind but especially primate (which includes humans) and pig blood are also very likely to cause stomach upset . i would vote against taking up any sort of vampiric activities.
nothing will happen.
well, nothing because the blood is in youre digestive system, youll just digest it, but you may get sick of an infectuos disease
