What is the blood kick trend?

This trend involves young people draining their own blood and re-injecting it, so that they can experience a momentary boost of energy, relief or control. At least five such cases have been detected in Gandhi Medical College since January 2026. All patients are between 18 and 25 years of age. At first, family members may notice only behavioral changes such as irritability, anger, and loneliness. But gradually, the condition becomes so serious that they feel the need to send their children to doctors.

Mental and physical health were affected

According to Hamidia Hospital doctors, this case is completely different from conventional drug addiction. These young men show no signs of alcohol or drug addiction, but needle marks are clearly visible on their bodies. They think that re-injecting their own blood into the body provides instant relief, but in reality it has a serious impact on their mental and physical health.

Risk of diseases increases
