Why is it that when you run you taste blood When ever i run in the cold i always taste blood my brother said this was because the veins in my throat burst id like a detailed answer or website?

Its probably because you are dehydrated. Just drink water after you feel this way. It happens to many people.

and the reason you get the blood taste is because heavy breathing dries out your throat which makes your throat raw like chapped lips can bleed your throat gets dry and raw. so yes drink more water. (oh and start using yahoo answers. you get more responses.)

Other Answer

Okay. Everybody thinks it's blood, but it really isn't. I heard (from my gym teacher) that it is the metals present in your body. Your throat is dry so therefore you are able to taste the metal/blood taste. It's the metals in your body (like iron, for instance) that your taste buds pick up. Like the answer above, be sure to drink more water, don't panic and take deep breaths.

*BTW, I'm not really sure if your veins can burst open. After all, health is not really my major in school.

Can swollen adonoids and swollen tonsils be dangerous to a child while sleeping?

In severe cases, yes, but the swelling usually happens rather gradually such that the child will awaken if/when it becomes a real problem. If he's still asleep, it may create snoring or interrupted breaths, but is not likely to be a serious problem.

On the other hand, if you're worried about it, it's best to see a doctor.

Does the Vena Cava carry oxygen?

the vena cava carries erythrocytes / hemoglobin that have oxygen attached. However, the de-oxygenation "blood" volume is not completely bereft of O2. See SvO2, CaO2 & CvO2 -- typical consumption is 25% of the oxygen carried arterially. Ex (Lungs): 20.1% ml/dl arterial vs. 15.5% ml/dl venous (Edwards LifeScience)

Why may a blood clot continue to expand even when bleeding stops?

Hello, First off are you talking about a blood clot inside a vein? or when blood clots to close an open wound? If it's in the vein it shouldn't be bleeding unless it's thinning, but I don't think it should be expanding that is unless it's becoming un-hardened... and then thins.. You should probably see your doctor about it, if you know your clot is expanding. Hope this helps!!

What happens if barbed wire stabs through your vein?

You will bleed and you may get tetanus. Either of those is a good reason to see your doctor.

Apply direct pressure to the wound with a clean (sterile, if you have it) dressing and elevate the wound. Do not remove the dressing because that will start it bleeding again. If the victim bleeds through the dressing, add another on top. The victim is in less danger of bleeding to death from a punctured vein than artery but could still loose enough blood to cause hypovolemic shock. Keep the victim warm and elevate the legs to get blood to the brain if symptoms of shock appear.
