How do vampires drink your blood?
Some vampires use sterile single-use thermoplastic medical tubing to extrude blood into small receptacles for drinking on the spot, or for later storage; others may use sterile blades to make small incisions on the donor, and drink directly from the wound before cleaning and bandaging it.
How does a vampire take blood from a person?
Vampires bite people, often in their necks, and then drink their blood. But how exactly? Do they suck the blood through through their teeth like a reverse snake. Or do they simply puncture the vein, take the teeth out and suck…
What happens if you dose a vampire with lemons?
If you dosed your victims with lemons before biting them however, you could raise their serum levels to 15mg/litre and 3 litres of blood would just be enough. It’s been suggested that the high iron content of blood would lead to iron overload in vampires.
Can a vampire get a human out of a box?
So, back to the hypothetical: The vampire would eventually get hungry (well, the human might too, but they can’t do anything about it), but not all vampires have Dracula’s demonic strength of 10–20 men, so they might not be able to get the human out of the box, or pry the box off of the human.
Why do vampires need to feed on living things?
Vampires are dead and immortal at the same time. In other words, they’re undead. In order to function and gain strength they need to feed off of living creatures that have blood (life force) coursing through their veins. Vampires can’t absorb any nutrients from food because their digestive system no longer works.

What are the risks of being a vampire?
Pathogens including syphilis, hepatitis, HIV and Ebola can all be spread by coming into contact with blood. Whilst the risks are clearly there, vampires can take steps to minimise risk to them and their donors. Most feed every couple of weeks, a few spoonfuls at a time. Some even use medical equipment to keep themselves safe.
