For many people, the so-called Dracula or other
blood-drinking creatures like vampires are just a simple myth or taboo.
However, it is not necessary to be Dracula to drink humans’ blood. This strange
but interesting fact is already happening in the U.S. and many other places
around the world. People, who indeed drink humans’ blood, claim that the blood helps
them cure a vast number of illnesses. In South Africa, some tribes do not drink
humans’ blood but the animals’ blood because they consider that animals’ blood
strengthens them and somehow purifies them. Some people drink blood because it
is a curative remedy. Others however, do it because of ritual practices that have
to do with their beliefs.
Doctors say that people who drink blood may
have psychological problems. Nevertheless, those who truly feed on blood argue
that after drinking the liquid they feel relieved from headaches, stomachaches,
depression, and many other health symptoms. For minor health problems, one does
not need a donor, except if that person chooses to drink blood.
People who sell their blood to blood-drinkers
are called donors. Usually these donors fill containers and hand them to the
buyers. In other cases, the donor cuts his own flesh and lets the blood-drinker
drink from the wound. Before the blood sucking process, the donors must pass a
blood test to ensure he is not infected or sick. The same security requirement
applies to the individual who will drink the other person’s blood so that
neither one gets infected.
Even though some people do not understand why others
drink blood, the reality is that neither those who drink blood know the reason
either. They just suck blood because that helps them with their health problems.
Scientists have no found evidence of any person with psychiatric difficulties.
This means that the blood-drinking concept is true.
