What Are The Repercussions Of Ingesting The Blood From A Cancerous Sore?
Question: What would happen if I ingested the blood of a cancerous sore?
Brief Answer:
not much...
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
if you're talking about drops of blood, absolutely nothing would happen. If more than 50-60mL of blood are swallowed then your stool will turn black (melena) and you'll probably have diarrhea. No metastasis if that's what you're worried about. Metastasis involves invasion of tissues.
Kind Regards!
