Why does blood taste good?
445125
*sigh* You aren't a freak for asking this, and for many it does taste good.  I really dont' know why, but I'll do my best! ☺  \n\n-\nBlood tastes good to you because you lack salt.  Do you like salty foods?\n\n-\nBlood tastes good to you because it was *hopefully* part of you at one time, so your body wants to bring it back in.--Your wastes were never part of your body and technically they never entered it.  *it is complex reasoning*\n-\nBlood tastes good because you lack iron.  Blood is filled with iron, so you will want to get more iron.\n-\nHope this helped!! ☻

See a doctor, black stuff could be stale blood. Stale blood can be a good media for bacteria to breed.

Blood cells contain hemoglobin which carries oxygen. When blood breaks down, iron is released and causes a metallic taste in mouth. Bleeding can be from the gums, sinuses or nose. The taste can get especially bad when someone has post nasal drip and the dried blood sticks to the back of the throat. If bleeding gums are the cause there is often bad breath associated with the bad taste.\nAnother uncommon reason for a metallic taste in mouth is due to small electric currents in the mouth. When two types of metals are used in two different dental fillings a battery can be created. Some believe that it's due to the mercury leakage from dental silver/mercury fillings.\nMany oral or IV medications such as thyroid medicine, penicillin, and lithium can give a metallic taste in mouth. When someone is allergic to a specific food, the food can often be detected even in extremely small amounts. Food allergies, such as with sulfur dioxide, can also cause this. Some gastrointestinal disorders can be aggravated by food allergies and cause burping, dry mouth, thirst, rectal itching and a metal taste. High protein diets can cause benign dietary ketosis. This has also been associated with a metal taste.\nChemotherapy, radiation therapy, or cancer itself can cause a metallic taste in mouth. It has also been associated with B 12 deficiency, zinc deficiency, Bell's palsy, Strep throat and Sjogren's disease along with anything that causes dry mouth

My guess is that it would taste like salty tofu, maybe meso soup?? I say this because of the simple proteins and amino acids present to produce life.  And the need for salt in life processes.  Or perhaps like semen.

Are you using a nasal spray ?\nIf yes, the taste could be from the spray that drops back to the throat.\nIf not, it could be a post-nasal drip of mucus from the nose. Check also to see if you nose is bleeding since you 'blew your nose real good' an hour ago. This may damage the nasal membrane and causes nose bleed and the blood can drop into the throat.\nGargle with water may help.\nIf you cold does not get better soon. Check with your doctor.

Even though our blood chemistry is rich in sodium like sea water, we drink fresh water not because of taste but rather biology.  Our bodies need a very fine balance of water content and sodium content.  If the sodium concentration is too low, our cellular functions cease and we die.  If the sodium concentration is too high, our cellular functions cease and we die.  \n\nLand animals lose water through sweat, urine, stool, as well as just by breathing.  We need to replace the water that we lose or else the sodium balance will be tipped and we will die of dehydration.\n\nHuman beings are unable to drink sea water because our kidneys are not efficient enough in concentrating the urine to eliminate the excess salt and in effect will cause the sodium concentration and ultimate kill us.  There are animals that have special adaptations that allow them to survive on salt water, such as more efficient kidneys, glands that secrete the excess salt from their bodies, and better methods to conserve body water... these particular creatures would likely suffer problems if they drank fresh water and die of "water poisoning" (i.e. loss of salt.)\n\nIn this case, biology has dictated taste.  You can guess what happened to everyone else who didn't develop the taste for fresh water...

Because taste is subjective.

Vampires are real on many different levels. \n\nWhen you talk about vampires, most people think of blood suckers. There most certainly are blood vampires.\n\nI've only ever drank my own blood; sucking on a wound, or laying on my back with a bloody nose. Nose blood; not the greatest, but I wasn't totally grossed out. Wound blood; not so bad. So even as a complete non-vampire, I can't claim that I regard human blood as a completely disgusting thing to drink.\n\nAs for the vampires I've met, drinking blood is an amazing and wonderful thing. It's all about that life force energy, and blood carries that energy. They say that just reaching out and draining someone of their energy is the greatest high, but drinking blood adds a thrill of sensuality. Feeling as it enters their mouth, still warm. Swallowing, physically taking the life-force inside of them. Tasting someone from the inside. They talk about it as a real thrill. Amazingly sensual.\n\nAlso, AB negative blood is supposedly the tastiest. It's a little sweeter than most blood. They say that an AB negative diabetic is like a candy apple.\n\nMany people drain those around them of life force energy, but there are some who can do it purposefully. They have the ability to reach out and drain a person's energy, and some are better at it then others. Some can contact you from far away in the vision realm after having looked you in the eyes and made a karmic connection, and take your energy. But the best is when they can just reach out and take it, draining a person until they fall on the floor. They say it's far better than caffeine. These are the energy vampires.\n\nI have a good friend who can do that. She's the only energy vampire I know who uses her power for good. She takes people's headaches. She also has an amazing ability to sense energies, making her one of the most powerful witches I know (I know a lot of witches who claim to be powerful, but very few who actually are). I have known her for many years and we are very close friends.\n\nOne time it was the dead of winter, she was sitting next to a window, and she felt someone looking at her. She looked and there was someone dressed in black with no color in their body sitting across the road, intently looking at her. She looked down for no more than five seconds, looked up again, and he was sitting on her side of the road, still intently looking at her. He was not dressed for the cold, but was not shivering at all. She looked down again, and looked up and he was sitting 10 feet from the window. Just intense calm looking at her. She immediately closed the blinds realizing that she had just had an encounter with a real vampire, although she recognized him as a kindred spirit. Had she left the blinds open, there is no telling what could have happened to her. \n\nIt probably wasn't a vampire like Dracula or what we see from Hollywood, but it was definitely something from outside of our mundane existence. So there might be another kind of vampire out there also. The vampires of myth and legend might be roaming the earth after all

It varies from girl to girl and the flavour can be altered by diet.  (This is equally true of semen.)\nSome people like the taste others hate it.  I love it!

What kind of blood? Animal? It is unhealthy to eat animal blood. Human? I would imagine it is a sin done in the way that it is done.

I drink blood on purpose because I find that it helps me with feeling stressed out, or sometimes I just can't help it. It really tastes good - I find that blood type B is the sweetest to me. Maybe I'm just partial to it because I am a blood type B myself XD\n\nTo me, blood is just... Different from most other foods. Its really awesome. When my boyfriend had two of his teeth out to make room in the mouth for braces, the wounds wouldn't stop bleeding. I kissed him then, and all the blood from his mouth flowed into mine - it just tasted great.\n\nIt also helps stressed out feelings, like re-injecting more energy into yourself to face a brand new day. Some may call it a placebo, maybe? But whatever it is, it varies within the individuals.\n\nDrinking blood doesn't automatically make you a vampire!

You're probably getting a small electrical charge, known as electrolysis, which happens when 2 dissimilar metals come in contact with one another, which causes that horrible flavor in your mouth.  I have a bridge that does that when eating utensils touch it, and yeah, its a disgusting taste and sensation, very bitter.

There are number of causes for a metallic taste in the mouth. The most common causes are as follows:\n1) Oral problems: when blood breaks down iron is released and causes a metallic taste in mouth. common causes of bleeding could be gingivitis or periodontal disease (gum disease), it could also be from sinuses or nose. If the cause is the post nasal drip tastes can get specially bad. Metallic restorations like amalgams (silver fillings) could be leaking and breaking down have your dentist check them and if you have older silver fillings have them replaced with bonding, porcelain veneers http://www.nwsmilespecialist.com\n\n2)medications: \nAmong the drugs that can cause a metallic taste in your mouth are antibiotics like Biaxin (clarithromycin) and Flagyl (metronidazole), used to treat a wide variety of infections; drugs used to treat an overactive thyroid; captopril, used to treat high blood pressure; griseofulvin, used to treat skin infections; lithium, used in bipolar disorder; penicillamine, used for rheumatoid arthritis, kidney stones, and too much copper in the body; plus some drugs used in cancer treatment\n.http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/id/QAA350574\n\n3) Impaired taste (Dysgeusia): common causes of impaired taste are:\ncommon cold, nasal infection, nasal polyps, sinusitis, salivary gland infections, influenza, viral pharyngitis, mouth dryness, aging, vitamin B-12 deficiency, gingivitis, bell's pasy, sjorgen's syndrome, strep throat\nhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus\n\n4) Excessive copper intake:\nExcessive copper intake can cause nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, headache, dizziness, weakness, diarrhea, and a metallic taste in the mouth. Copper toxicity is rare but can cause heart problems, jaundice, coma, and even death. \nCopper overload may occur from using copper cookware and from water supplied by copper pipes on a regular basis. Copper can leach out of pipes into water, especially hot water, if it sits in copper pipes for an extended period of time. It is best to always cook with cold water. Flushing the system by running cold water for 2 to 3 minutes is an effective way to reduce copper. Also, it is best to avoid unlined copper cookware since copper can leach into acidic foods such as vinegar, tomato, or citrus. If you have blue-green stains around your faucet or sink, or if you detect a metallic taste to your water, you may want to have your water tested by a certified laboratory.\nhttp://www.umm.edu/altmed/ConsSupplements/Coppercs.html\nBest of luck.
