You absolutely do not heat fix a blood smear before staining, that is, if you are looking at the blood cells. For bacteria, why wouldn't you culture it first and then heat fix, stain etc. I don't think heat fixing the blood stain would damage the bacterial cells so much as make it hard to differentiate the bacterial cells from the dead, shriveled, ruined blood cells, unless maybe you have like an electron microscope or something.
