Drank blood by accident possibly?!
Question: Drank blood by accident possibly!?
Not as creepy as the question sounds!. I always pick at my fingers as a nervous habit, so I bleed occasionally!. Well at a party yesterday, I saw it bleeding, so I sucked on it for a sec, then pushed on the wound to get out any lingering blood so the wound could dry and close!. Well, I couldn't find any wound, so I'm praying I didn't bump into anyone, but in the off chance I did, would I be fine for the most part or what!? Stupid *** question, just just to calm my nerves a bit so my stomach will stop being a pain!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You're absolutely fine!.
While the human body isn't equipped to digest blood, ingesting such a trace amount is insignificant!. Your nerves have probably caused you more stress than a small amount of blood!.
Just for reference, if you had ingested a significant amount of blood (I don't know exactly what volume this would be, but I'd guess half a cup or more), you would probably just get a stomach ache and possibly vomit!.
Really, you're going to be OK!. I've done exactly what you've described probably more times than I can count (ingesting a bit of blood, not picking my fingers, after sticking my finger in my mouth after getting a paper cut or a cat scratch) with absolutely no ill side effects!.

Too small an amount to matter!. However, ask your doctor if there's any testing he'd recommend just to give you peace of mind!.
You could have had a cut nearby that you didn't notice!. I've looked all over for my source of blood & found it on a different finger or leg -- odd as that sounds!. By now it's wouldn't be noticable!.
EDIT: I meant to say, too small to matter for catching disease, including HIV!Www@Answer-Health@Com
