No, it is one part of the human bady that does not grow but the human eyeball does not grow either.
What is the sickness called when you have to drink blood?
The clinical term for drinking blood is "Hematophagy."
But, I don't think there really is a sickness that you HAVE to drink blood, but there are some. Like, psychiatric cases of patients performing hematophagy also exist.
Also, sucking one's own blood from a wound is also a behavior commonly seen
in humans, and in small enough quantities is not considered taboo.
Well, usually no one worries about "stake" calories... termites might, but people don't usually because the wood can be hard on our teeth. The only real application I think that applies is in the rare case of half-staked vampires. I am not sure whether you knew that this is a common malady in the vampire world. Some incompetent vampire hunter comes along, tries to stake the vampire, and basically leaves a sharp, pointy stick (the stake referenced earlier) in the vampire's body. Depending on how close it got to the heart, and whether movement is restricted, this can often be a very bad thing for the vampire. If it is not removed immediately, often blood poisoning sets in (which is the worst thing that can really happen to a vampire), and since movement is often restricted, it is hard for the vampire to do a self-transfusion (which is the politically correct way to refer to what other, less sensitive, people might term "feeding"). Calories transferred from the stake, mostly plant fiber but sometimes animal as well (we see this a lot when stakes are carelessly left around outside meat-packing plants) can also kick-start the long-dormant digestive system, resulting in few (but horrific) cases of vampire starvation... not only of blood, which is bad enough, but also now, due to the newly-triggered need, of plant and animal fiber. For an immortal being, this dual hunger and the inability to satisfy either can often drive the vampire insane. I would say in this case that the question is not "how many" calories in a stake... but how can we prevent this tragedy from happening in the future?
"Steak" (meat meal, usually a slab of cow) calories can be found in the related question with that spelling as well as on the website in the related link below.
How much blood can you drink before getting sick?
- A minuscule amount of blood --less than a drop, can carry and transmit an unbelievable amount of disease and bacteria, among which are hepatitis, AIDS, Malaria, even STDs (sexually transmitted Diseases). SO, forget about a stomach ache- which is almost certain to occur when drinking raw blood, there are many other worse things that can happen. I would strongly advise against this. However, it is important to note that many, many people drink blood regularly. And no, they aren't freaks or vampires. If a person has severe and common nosebleeds, they often consume a lot of the blood. When a person gets a nosebleed while they are sleeping, blood may seep down their throat for several minutes before they wake up. I have never seen a person vomit after a nosebleed that began while sleeping and I know from personal experience that it is more than possible to sleep through a nosebleed and not experience any negative after effects. Blood, or rather YOUR blood, isn't toxic; but a lot of people who drink their own blood (not on purpose, of course!) will get sick because the idea of drinking blood is disgusting to them.
- It only takes a little blood in the stomach to make a person sick. Seeing as though there are no definitive and here is a movie quote. The actual validity of this quote isn't proven and is presented as is.'You can swallow a pint of blood before you get sick." -Edward Norton's character "Tyler Durden' from an undisclosed copyright protected movie. (Fight Club)
- It really depends on the person. Some people get sick very easily after swallowing only a small amount, others take more. However it is a fact that the human digestive system does not like blood. It is very irritating to the mucosal lining of the digestive tract. I would recommend NOT drinking any blood if possible.

How much can you drink before you drown yourself?
Drinking too much water can lead to a condition known as water intoxication and to a related problem resulting from the dilution of sodium in the body, hyponatremia. You can't drown yourself unless you get too much water in your windpipe, which the human body is designed to avoid. The bladder can only hold so much water before it ruptures however; about 500-700 mL. == ==
How can you file your teeth into fangs pain-free?
You can go to the dentist, get your mouth numbed, and your teeth sharpened. In case you haven't notice - human teeth aren't really all that big and don't make good artistic material.

What do schizophrenic vampires act like?
Many different cultures have had various different beliefs about the behavior patterns of these fictional creatures. Some cultures, for example, believed vampires were mindless, bloodthirsty corpses similar to zombies, while in others it was believed that they were urbane, civilized and intelligent. Modern horror fiction likes to depict vampires as being caught in between two contradictory natures: Civilized and savage. According to many literary theorists, this is to make the vampire seem humanlike and speak to the conflict between rationality and irrationality in the human mind.

Is drinking your own blood a disorder?
Drinking your own blood is very bad for you because your stomach acids can't break it down so it rots in the stomach and gives you stomache sores cousing you to vomit That's not true for me. All I drink is blood. Even at school. Everyone is creeped out by it, but I have to.

Birmingham (West Midlands) - Glen Park Road (Ward End) and Saltley, Small Heath and Alum Rock areas
A gentleman, described as black and in his twenties, bit another man walking along the street before pouncing on neighbours who came to the victim's aid. One woman who was present was said to have had a chunk bitten out of her hand. Police, however, stated that they had received no reports of such an incident and dismissed the story as an urban myth.
The above story took place on January 5th 2005
Blair Atholl (Perth and Kinross) - Glen Tilt, north of the town
Date/ Early Twentieth century
Two poachers shacking up in a bothy reported being attacked by a creature that attacked and drank blood from one of them. The pair managed to fight the creature off, and it flew away. The story is very similar to the vampire tale that happened at Fealaar, Aberdeenshire.
Croglin (Cumbria) - Croglin Low Hall
date / 1875
One of the few vampire reports in the UK, this creature attacked a young girl in this building. One of her brothers saw the attack, and shot the monster in the leg. The blood trail enabled them to track it to the village graveyard, where it was dug up and burnt
Fealaar (Aberdeenshire) - Hut hidden away in a wooded area
date/ 1920s
Two hunters were said to have been attacked by a vampire while spending the night in the bothy. The story is very similar to the vampire tale that happened at Blair Atholl, Lowlands, and is likely to be based upon that particular story.
Stoke on Trent (Staffordshire) - Number 3, The Villas
date/ 1973
A body found in the building was surrounded by garlic, salt, crucifixes, and other items reported to scare off vampires - tragically, the dead man was found to have choked to death on a clove of garlic that lodged in his throat as he slept.
Melrose (Borders) - Melrose Abbey
date/ Circa twelfth century?
An evil monk returned from the dead as a vampire, leaving his grave at Melrose Abbey to feed at a local nunnery. When the other monks discovered this, the bravest stayed up one night with a large axe, and when the vampire climbed out of its tomb, it was beheaded. The vampire's evil presence still remains in the abbey. The building is also the final resting place of Michael Scot, a great wizard who discovered the secret of flying, and was locally named as single handedly building Hadrian's Wall.
Why don't vampires have reflections?
Because they don't exist?
So you can recognize them?
It makes for cute special effects?
ANSWERS:
Vampire's aren't really into reflections mainly because way too often reflection succumbs to self reflection and self reflection is a vampires worst enemy...well, besides sunlight, wooden stakes, holy water, crucifixes and God. Vampires, you see, were human before they became vampires and now that they are vampires they must prey on other humans in order to survive. You can well imagine what self reflection will do to a hunter vampire, once human now stalking his human prey. It boggles the mind. There are some romantic writers such as Anne Rice who attempt to describe vampires reflecting but if you've read these books you all ready know how dangerous vampires reflecting can be. Perhaps vampires should leave the reflecting for the Frankenstein Monsters and reprogrammed Terminators and do what they do best, sashay around the night in cool capes, sucking the blood out of their victims and sleeping in coffins by day. Of course, it's a free country and if vampires want to reflect they certainly have the right to do so. It's pretty certain they don't, on a whole, reflect by choice. It's a matter of lifestyle choices.
2nd person here,but umm...some say that your reflection is your soul and since vampires are dead they have no soul creating no reflection (I like this one).
