Question

Isn't fake blood toxic?

Imustaskyouaquestion

Community Answer

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

Can I insert it to fake it as fake virginity blood?

Community Answer

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.

Question

Does this blood stay in my mouth or come out?

Kiah Rosendale

Community Answer

If you are asking in the long run this will come out, but for your party or trick or treating it should stay in.

Question

Will it stain my teeth?

Stephanie

Community Answer

It depends on what you're using. Usually, any food coloring or cornflour recipe can easily be cleaned off your teeth with some scrubbing from a toothbrush and toothpaste.

Question

If a make a lot and only use one, will they keep? What's the shelf life?

Community Answer

As long as they're kept in a sealed container, the shelf life is indefinite - none of the ingredients will spoil.

Can I use the corn flour method instead?

Community Answer

It should work just the same, but the consistency may be different due to using another recipe.

Question

I'm going to be in a drama skit where I get fake stabbed. I want to have a capsule in my mouth so that I can spurt blood out of my mouth and do a dramatic death scene. Should I make my own fake blood or buy some?

Community Answer

Making your own might be less toxic and cheaper. It doesn't really matter how realistic it will look, because the audience is far away.

Question

Are the blood capsules made for movies and TV shows edible?

Community Answer

Most of them aren't, as they need to look pretty realistic. Some may be if used for bleeding from the mouth.
