Safe bloodletting

[farewell]

((this post is intended for people over the age of 18. if you are under this age please leave and go to the buying blood forum))


First of all if you are bloodletting by cutting ALWAYS let your donor do the honors, if you do it its technically a form of assault. And for god's sakes, DO NOT cut over an artery if you do not know where they are then get a freaking book on human anatomy and learn.

Secondly, take certain medical procautions. Be sure the intrument is clean and germ free, be sure that the area to be cut is disinfected. be sure your mouth is clean (we wouldnt want bacteria from your mouth getting in the donors wounds) and after you are done feeding, clean the wound and dress it properly

third, NEVER feed from people you dont know, who could have blood borne illnesses. especially with such a high risk of aids this is VERY dangerous. if possible be sure to have all your donors screened for blood illnesses.


fourth, do NOT feed from donors who are on medications as they can be in their bloodstream. be sure your donors are healthy, mental stable people. (I say this because there is a certain bonding that comes with donating and people of instable mindset do not seem to handle this well)

fifth, DO NOT in any instance take more blood than is needed. this is generally only a mouthful or even less

if you can use other mean (safer means) to bloodlet I highly recommend you do, as knifes or razors tend to scar your donor. other ways to bloodlet are...

A safe, scarless and almost painless way of bloodletting is lancets. Diabetics use lancets and they
work great for bloodletting. You can buy them at almost any pharmacy.

Anouther, safer way is to go to trade school and study phlebotomy or take some classes on it. then you can use a needle to tap the vein directly

might i also add the ancient heated glass method

heat up a glass to when its warm but not too hot as to burn the donor
have the donor make the incision they are comfortable with
put the glass over the wound and flip it over so the wound is facing the ground and dripping into the glass
as the air in the glass cools it will create a vacuum due to hot air taking up more space then cooler air and physics will try to fill the void with whatever it can
since there is an open wound the vacuum will suck the blood out until it clots or until you have achieved your required amount and you have basically avoided any kind of infection of the donor


naturally ALWAYS have your donor and yourself tested before you engage in these acts because while most people do not believe we exist AIDS is so watch your ass
