Vampires: Fact or Fiction

[InfiniteNow]

Yup... sure are... sort of. Otherwise, we'd not be talking about something in this thread. They exist, even if only in dialogue and story.

lots of weirdo's have been around that drank blood.. and lived in dark places alone cause they had some issues..

however I dont know about vampires..

[learnin to learn]

ok new question. Besides calling them wierdo's, how would we classify these people? Would they be considered canibals even though they do not participate in canabalism?

Couldn't you get AIDs from drinking Aids Hiv blood?

hmmm good question! I have no earthly idea! my hypothesis is yes, that the blood breaks down in your stomach, (like everything else we consume) and the aids virus is absorbed into our blood stream. But I am not sure! let me do some research.

[arkain101]

If the blood finds a way to get into your blood on the way to the stomach, aids is on your ajenda.

However I know that blood coagulates very quickly on the stomach. As I understand it no virus or bacteria can survive in your stomach acid bath in their naked state.

There is however bacter like "H Pilori" that is able to coat itself in its own fecis like slime and survive in your stomach. They make your stomach think it always has food in it, and because of this it produces tons of acid. And you end up with acid reflux problems. It also drains you down because your body is in overdrive with the immune system and production of fluids/acids.

I know this because I've had it since i was 12 years old, however just recently I am discovering this issue. I forgot what life was like without blistering pain and fatigue.

arkain I believe you are correct, you cannot transmit aids through the drinking of ones blood, unless, as you said, it was to somehow get into ones bloodstream. I completely overlooked the effect that stomach acids would have on the virus.
