A "vampire facial," in which a patient's blood is drawn and then re-applied to their own face, could be responsible for infections at a New Mexico spa.
Customers who have gotten the beauty treatment are being urged to get tested for HIV.
Health inspectors say procedures at this particular New Mexico spa could lead to the spread of not only HIV, but also Hepatitis B and C.

Makes cucumber facials and warm rock massages sound almost normal.
“A “vampire facial,” in which a patient’s blood is drawn and then re-applied to their own face, could be responsible for infections at a New Mexico spa.”
The patient’s own blood is giving them HIV?
Presumably, the machine wasn’t adequately sanitized after each use.
I think, anyway.
good freaking grief
Geez, I’d hate to get that call. It’s a good thing I never considered a vampire facial.
My guess is they weren’t using sterile needles, tubes or bags... so lord knows what they wound up getting into their bloodstream.

One should judge a man mainly from his depravities. Virtues can be faked. Depravities are real.

Gotta wonder, why would a woman think that blood on her face is a “beauty” treatment?
But then again, they also believe that a cream will make fat disappear. So there’s that.
So many young people seem to be taken up with new fads which cause lasting damage. I am reminded of those people who died as a result of a “sweat lodge” treatment several years ago, and the new poop pro-biotics, and the teen challenges of the last few years.
Seriously, anyone infected by this ghastly procedure deserves what they get.

I think the problem is not the patient’s blood, but the blood handling equipment not being sterile. In other words, the problem comes from someone else’s blood.
Mebbe should consider who the patients were.
Maybe they just had one needle and wiped it off between uses.
Sounds like a Stormy Daniels movie.
Really weird.
