Cachaemia

/kækɪˈmiːə/ noun

A medical condition involving abnormal or bad blood, possibly referring to poor blood quality or contamination; an archaic medical term.

From Greek 'kakos' (bad) and 'haima' (blood). This term reflects older medical theory when doctors believed many diseases were caused by corrupted or imbalanced blood types, before modern hematology developed.
