    Isn't fake blood toxic?

    Store-bought ones are, but making your own isn't. Corn syrup, food coloring and water are all edible.

    You probably shouldn't do that because it's bad for you and possibly dangerous.

  • Question
    What if I accidentally swallow the capsule?
    Community Answer
    If you make your own blood capsules using this article, you shouldn't have any problems if you swallow one since they're non-toxic. However, some store-bought fake blood capsules might be toxic, in which case you might want to call Poison Control in the event that you swallow one to see if you need to get medical care.

      Warnings

      • Though the blood capsules are safe, don't over ingest the capsules. Golden syrup should taste good, but too much could make you feel sick. Spit it out and wash it out if not to your taste.
        Thanks
