Blood cells automatically die after 100-120 days for red blood cells and in a few days for white blood cells. They remain in the blood stream until they are detected by macrophages which are cells that discover and essentially eat dead cell. This process involves them surrounding the cells with a special coating that disallows them from re entering the blood stream. They are then eventually eliminated macrophages and all through the digestive system or kidneys. In fact a large percentage of human waste is made up of our bodies dead cells, including blood cells and other toxins.
