can you get hepatitis c by drinking blood

[curiouslady1]

Hey guys, watch it.  The moderators are already down on this thread LOL.  This is the first I have heard that you can get HIV from drinking fresh blood.  I don't know anyone can get a bloodbourne virus from drinking something.  However, certainly you could get Hepatitis A which you can get from pork that isn't cooked as well as trichinosis.  I think what people don't get when they turn their noses down is that when local islanders and native peoples prepare some of these delicacy dishes; they are super careful.  Ever watched someone clean a pig for a community fiesta where something like dinuguan is served?  They wash it and re-wash it etc.  Much more careful than the FDA.  However, I think that Hepatitis in various forms is quite rife in some of the places.  I know that on an island where I used to live, food would lay out for hours in the hot sun at fiestas.  Not good as I know now even with the lemon juice and salt that much was marinated in.  But all of this is immaterial since you would need to inject the blood directly into your veins to get B and C.  Of course, if you were engaging in a horizontal activity while drinking fresh blood. . . well . . .

You could get a lot of diseases besides HCV from drinking blood.  Even HIV if the blood is fresh enough.  You may be able to use a chemical process like pasteurization to make it safe.

Hi, I am a Singapore chinese. Here we are big on pig organ soup. Actually we eat almost all the parts of the pig, even the blood. Eat, not drink.

In France, pig's blood is considered a delicacy, and in some Asian countries, duck's blood and snake's blood are considered culinary treats.
