All that glitters

the opposite is true. If a germ is a foreign bacteria or virus, your body contains more "germ" cells than genetically native cells. Blood is a vector not only for more pathogens than anything else (a "secondary vector for virtually anything), it's also a vector for some of the very most dangerous ones. It is treated as a severe bio-hazard for a reason.

... I learned a healthy respect for bio-hazardous material in grade school. Some of it while visiting my mother at her place of work in the hospital, a decade before studying anatomy.

It didn't develop to a level I would call "phobic" until... college maybe? when "old hat" got matched up with gruesome photography? Or maybe highschool, when we studied viral outbreak patterns & pathogens.

cutting myself off.

In anycase; uncooked blood is a huge danger, "metal cravings" or no. Perhaps *slightly* less so with rigid testing and fluid bonding practices, though unfortunately blood drinking is labeled "dangerous and abusive." As frowned upon by doctors and authorities as any part of BDSM.

I am secretly thrilled beyond belief the glitter thread provides useful information. I tend to be all about the germs. I feel like by digging in the dirt (so to speak) my immunity system is a fortress.

What is a metal craving??

It varies. Mostly its a thinly veiled way of saying that I really want me some blood.

The taste of copper is a close second. It's considered to be a symptom of iron deficiency, which every blood test I've ever had says is not a concern. Some people experiencing metal cravings want to suck on nickel or silver, and it's still considered to be a symptom of iron deficiency.

Was a peculiarity I just lived with for a decade, before I discovered it went away (along with my light sensitivity) if I stopped eating things that gave me migraines.

So i can jokingly say that gelatin turns me into a vampire. An irate sun-hating monster, in a perpetual fog of pain and memories of trauma that never happened.

stay away from gelatin.
 
I crave blood ( or blue steak, or........raw steak) when my iron is low. I've never wanted metal though. :eek:

I crave steak when my iron is low too. Not raw though. Rare. Usually I eat it medium.
When I was pregnant with my twins I ate steak once or twice a day for 5 months.
 
so coming back to my joke;

as repugnant as the practice of blood drinking may be, given a risk free opportunity, I'd happily sacrifice a week of pain. (at least once, maybe not on a regular basis)

The couple of times I actually tasted blood while also having blood cravings was... practically spiritual. Also; super arousing. (bit through my cheek one time, mangled my tongue the other. The same reactions that cause the migraines also causes my tongue to swell a bit.)

Dispels any confusion I might have had concerning the odd romanticism of vampires in pop culture.

Obligitory twilight pic: because it's the glitter thread

umm. he looks all glittery constipated.
 
Glitter...

What is it about people having a "sparkle in their eyes"?

According to various literature it either indicates some sort of desire for coitus, mischievous intent, a grand intelligence or possession by a demon I guess, what with eyes being the windows to the soul and all that.

I say that if somebody's got a sparkle in their eye then they've been poked in the eye by some dumb goblin-esque infant whose been messing with glitter and glue and they probably need to go get saline eyedrops from their nearest eye technician before they start seeing the onset of bacterial conjunctivitis...
Or, NOT seeing!

Hahah!
