The practice or condition of feeding on blood; hematophagy.
From Greek 'haima' (blood) + '-phagy' (eating). A synonym for hemophagia, emphasizing the feeding behavior itself.
Hemophagy has fascinated humans throughout history—we see vampire legends in almost every culture, and real blood-feeding animals like leeches have been used in medicine for thousands of years to promote healing.
