as in Ricardo. My Italiian mate just told that the breaking news on Gazetta de la Sport is that he nearly died after he changed his own blood in the kitchen, with a 25 day old blood bag from his fridge that was 'off'.

It makes me feel really quite ill to think someone would do that!

    It honestly sounds like something I've seen in a Vampire movie. Vampire drinks old 'out of date' blood bag he keeps in the fridge. F's himself up doing so.
