I heard about this study about human blood killing guinea pigs in a lecture today and it sounded so much like an UL that I just had to ask about it.
Anyway, supposedly, some scientist got people blood and put it in a guinea pig and it did just fine. Then, another time, he got people angry, took their blood, injected it into a guinea pig, and it died, because when people get angry, their body produces toxins. Was this really done? Is it true? |

Guinea Pig: Feed me!
Scientist: Does it have to be human? Guinea Pig: Feed me! Scientist: Does it have to be mine? Guinea Pig: Feed me, Seymour! Feed me all night long!* In other words, I have no idea. |

I have no knowledge or scientific credentials (I don't even play a scientist on TV
), but here's my wild guess as to how it might be plausible:Remember the old "rabbit test" for pregnancy? (I know, the rabbit didn't die as a result of the test, but was killed for dissection.) Certain animals are sensitive to particular human hormones. It's conceivable that human adrenaline or other hormones/chemicals stimulated by rage might provoke a fatal reaction in a small rodent. |

Simpler than that. Blood must be matched for type, even in humans. Human blood is a poor match for rodents. This would result in a major immune reaction which could well be fatal.

Right, but the OP suggests that only "angry blood" would be toxic to the GPs.
