Vampires (be they sparkly or not) are all fun and games in movies but, when it comes to real life, hearing and seeing someone drink blood isn’t exactly as much fun. This is precisely what a new episode of TLC’s “My Strange Addiction” brings.

A preview for it is embedded below. The full episode airs next Wednesday.

Useless to say, you should probably skip it if you’re feeling particularly queasy: Michelle, a 29-year-old tattoo artist says she’s so addicted to blood she can’t stop drinking it.

She prefers pig’s blood to cow’s blood (and she even explains why), and she uses it to cook as well or as the “milk” in her morning coffee.

Michelle likes drinking blood so much that her Bloody Marys are truly worthy of that name – yup, you guessed why.

Since she started with this unusual habit, Michelle has drunk enough blood to fill a bathtub 23 times and, perhaps even the most disturbing of all, she also “leeches” on a “trusted friend” for a fix.
