I’ve been taking fish oil for about 18 months in the range of 6-12g as a liquid each day depending on whether I’m bulking or cutting. While reattaching a button to a shirt today, I pricked myself good with the needle. I instinctively sucked my finger and to my surprise it tasted distinctly like fish oil. I couldn’t quite believe it, because I know the taste of my own blood, so I sucked each finger to make sure I hadn’t somehow got a bit on my hands from the bottle earlier. I squeezed a nice drop out of my finger and was careful to transfer just the drop to my tongue and there it was again, unmistakable.

BTW the triglyceride scores on my blood tests have been fecking beautiful.

well over time you start changing the whole body cells profile

In a year you will devlope gills and the ability to communicate with dolphins

hhmm sounds fishy

This may explain the lustful look the sashimi chef gave me.

My experience:

After I had been taking fish oil for about two years, one day, my right hand began to smell like fish. I washed my hands. Later, my hand smelled fishy again. Washed my hands again. Predictably, that day I ended up constantly washing my hands. By the evening, I must have had the cleanest hands in the United States.

At home, my wife sniffed me all over, and she told me that I should take a shower, because the smell was coming from my crotch area. I told her that doesn't explain why my hands smell like fish, because I don't touch my crotch at work (except in the restroom), nor do I use my pocket to play with myself, even though I do put my right hand in the pocket quite often.

Then I remembered, I had put 2 caps of fish oil in my denim pants pocket the day before the laundry thinking I will take them later. While the pair of pants (denim jeans) was in the dryer, the fish oil caps had melted and oil had seeped into the pocket fabric.

wow.....scary stuff, hahah

I use the pharmaceutical grade liquid...it does'nt smell fishy even in the bottle.

Hey, back off you freaks. I don't SMELL fishy, I just TASTE fishy.

I use a brand called Melrose, which seems to be the only one I can get as liquid over here. It's 'deodorised' with citrus oils.

Chuckle...good show mate.

Hey Riker, what compels you to suck blood from cuts? I know a lot of people do this but I don't understand why. I remember asking some friends that would do this while I was still under the age of 10 and these kids didn't really have an answer. To this day I still see people of all ages do this. I haven’t ask anyone to explain since my initial investigation because I kind of just accepted it....... until now.

You know I've often wondered myself. I've come up with some simple if somewhat dubious explanations for it like:

- I saw someone else do it
- Preserving a precious resource
- Hiding the fact that you are injured
- cleansing the wound somehow by facilitating the flow of blood out (ala sucking the poison out from a snake bite)
- Hungarian/Transilvanian heritage

Interesting. I think people get addicted to consuming parts of their bodies. Like people who eat their fingernails (not only bite but actually eat) and people who eat their boogers. I have seen people bite their nails off, crunch them up and swallow them. Suddenly sucking blood doesn't seem so bad.

I think people who do these things don't have a conscious reason as to why.

Sometime somewhere somebody probably didn't have anything to wipe their blood on so instead of staining something or the clothing, they probably just sucked it. I dunno.

I heard once (i.e. could be BS) that researchers found growth factors (EGF?) in the saliva of wolves, thus licking their wounds both cleaned them and facilitated healing. If this is true, its pretty cool.

hahah...priceless



about the wolvves thing...there was a story where a guys dog was licking his gangreen'd (sp?) foot or something like 3-4 hours a day and it healed in record time. I guess its possible.

I read something awhile back about how some group tried to enrich bacon by feeding nothing but fish to the pigs...........It worked, but the bacon tasted like fish.

I'll see if I can find where I read that.

I've heard that the saliva helps with the clotting factor somehow.

That got a laugh out of me.
