Bloody Hell

[SIRandyraven]

Watching coast and told a story about ship wrecked sailors who killed a poorly cabin boy, who was near death anyway and drank his blood to survive.
I thought having a different blood type to your own was dangerous and could kill you ?
Or is this for only transfused blood , rather than digested blood ?

[bednobs]

just transfused

[Canary42]

Only transfused blood.

I may be wrong (God knows I'm used to it...), but I think consuming large enough quantities of human blood is bad for you anyway. Not that I've tried it.

I suppose if you are desperate enough you try anything.

If you could only eat your own blood group ... a rare steak could be tricky.

If digested was a problem everyone who eats black pudding (or similar) would have problems !

[SIRandyraven]

True about black pudding.
Yuk however.

So my vampire activities can resume then.

"ship wrecked sailors who killed a poorly cabin boy, who was near death anyway and drank his blood to survive."

That is so gross, I'd rather die than do this.

[humbersloop]

people do anything to survive

The Andes Plane crash made for gruesome reading, the film was nearly as good. I suppose if you are starving and cold you'd contemplate eating anything. I think it was Frobisher the explorer in the North Pole whose crew chewed on the leather of their boots to get some sort of nourishment.
