ORIGINAL: Aiden Do you recommend drawing blood by use of teeth? No. 1) The human mouth is full of bacteria that can cause infection, 2) the jagged ends of the bite are really likely scar and 3) it takes more skill than most have to only bite so far. Humans eat with utensils...vampires do, too. We're not uncivilized and we're not Hollywood. Master Fire Very true. Human teeth are not made to pierce flesh cleanly, they're made to tear. Tearing equals scarring and biting increases the risk of infection. We're careful of our donors because healthy, sane ones are few and far between. If you want to practice safer bloodletting, including pre- and post-care www.real-vampires.moonfruit.com and www.sanguinarius.org are good sites to explore for tips. Disposable scalpels and diabetic lancets are the best implements. Blades for straight razors can work if you're careful. Xacto brand and hunting knives are not recommended for reasons of sanitation and control. Hypodermic needles should only be used by trained medical professionals.
