When Menstrual Blood Is Fertilized.
This is the Expert Comment
In the virtual world some people share their experiences when using unusual fertilizers, ie their own menstrual blood. This is because menstrual blood is considered as an 'organic' material that is environmentally friendly.
How with menstrual blood collected in one container, diluted with water, then given to the plant. Those who do so claim their crops can flourish with this fertilizer.
How is the expert explanation behind this trend? Microbiologist and soil Dr. Oliver Knox said the effectiveness of menstrual blood as fertilizer is actually difficult to measure. Indeed, blood can contain sodium, iron, and calcium which are good for plants but the levels can vary for each person.
Because the composition of blood is not always the same and difficult to predict, it is unlikely that the fertilizer can produce the desired results.
Not to mention the risks for the spread of harmful pathogens in the blood such as HIV and Hepatitis. In a hospital, for example, blood is considered as a dangerous biological waste, so it gets special treatment from health workers.
You don't know what is in the blood and what can grow from it. Unless blood is stored properly, such as when collected or collected for donations or pathology tests, bacteria and other harmful things can grow, "said chemist Dr Amy Heffernan as quoted by ABC Australia.
