How many Mahaloians are aware of the escalating dangers of attempting to become a vampire?

Many people (teens & beyond) are caught up in the craze of vampires these days. On the Doctors Show they discussed how sucking on another person in an attempt to draw blood can cause damage to capillaries and blood vessels. Extreme "hickies" can cause life threatening problems, especially if an individual has undiagnosed weakness in the walls of their veins, blood vessels. This popular action can lead to blood clots, which in turn could cause heart failure, strokes or pulmonary problems. Read about the lady from New Zealand.

Hey @bitbit!!

My guess is no, they haven't heard of this potentially life threatening situation, and my guess would also be they wouldn't believe you (or care) if you told them. Remember, teenagers think they're bullet-proof, are always *always* right, and will never die or get old (and that's without the addition of vampirism!)

There's more to it than just this disturbing story you've brought to us; drinking someone else's blood in any capacity is just plain old BAD for you. Hepatitis A & B, HIV or any number of diseases are carried thru the bloodstream, and my guess is these folks are not exactly the best at checking medical records prior to participating. Additionally, it's important to keep in mind that the human mouth is disgusting and teeming with bacteria and microorganisms, and a bite could cause a serious infection extremely quickly.

Oh, these wacky kids these days!

I agree with you. Oddly enough though it isn't just teens who are into the vampire craze. There are people ranging from teens to forties who are practicing this sucking activity. And I also believe that adults who become infatuated about such crazes are just as unlikely to heed the warnings as the younger crowds.

It is so strange to know this, but why in the first place these kids have this weird imagination and what aspires them to transform into such a horrible but non-existing thing like a vampire? I am not buying it.

When Lord Jesus, Buddha, Mahavira, Ram and other Gods and Goddesses look down to see what is happening down here, what might they be thinking about us? Thousands of years of teaching and what is the end-result? Vampire! Holy humans! They want to become a Vampire!

I also even think that what the real vampires might be thinking (if there are some). "oh! our jobs now are not secured. Humans are a threat to our bread and butter."

I hope better thinking should prevail and these vampire-loving crazy people use their intellect and perceive life and its beauty in a better way.

Amen!

Hi @bitbit. The amount of these vampire questions is becoming worse, than the Justin B. questions! And, if you happen to answer any of them, be careful, as if you tell them that vampires don't exist, some of them become quite hostile! I don't understand why their parents haven't told them the actual truth about this subject. When my sons were small, they had great imaginations, but knew what was real, and what was fiction. Are these kids just pretending they think vampires are real, or do they really believe it? Pretty sad really. About the news article, I wonder if this would have made it to the paper, if it wasn't for this current craze!

I was first attracted to the article because of the health risk it poses. But I remembered seeing all the vampire questions on Mahalo and wondered if posting the article would put a bit of fear into these kids who are participating in the "vampire suction" acts. It's such a shame that some of these kids may end up with a weakened blood vessel/ arteries that could lead to strokes or aneurysms.

To my current research, at least four Mahaloians are now aware. Thank you for this Mahalo public service announcement.
