A high-profile member of the vampire community (yes, it's a thing) has issued a caution to Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly for drinking each other's blood.
Co-founder of The New Orleans Vampire Association Belfazaar Ashantison warned the couple to 'take proper precautions before drinking their lover's blood, in a statement to TMZ.
He said Fox and MGK need to be sure they are testing each other's blood 'for potential diseases and blood-borne illnesses'

Ashantison also clarified vampires are 'not immune from' such diseases.
Founder of the New Orleans Endless Night Vampire Ball, Father Sebastiaan, also issued a warning.
Sebastiaan told TMZ that blood withdrawal should be done only by trained medical professionals.

The senior vampire's comments come after Fox confirmed to Glamour that she and Machine Gun Kelly - whose real name is Colson Baker - like to slurp on each other's blood from time to time.
"Yeah. So, I guess to drink each other’s blood might mislead people or people are imagining us with goblets and we’re like Game of Thrones, drinking each other’s blood," she said.
"It’s just a few drops, but yes, we do consume each other’s blood on occasion for ritual purposes only.
"I’m much more controlled.

"And so, when I do it, it’s a passage or it is used for a reason. And it is controlled where it’s like, ‘Let’s shed a few drops of blood and each drink it'.
"He’s much more haphazard and hectic and chaotic, where he’s willing to just cut his chest open with broken glass and be like, ‘Take my soul.'"
Back in January, the two shared a video of their engagement on Instagram that alluded to this little hobby.

While the footage itself seemed romantic enough – capturing the moment MGK got on one knee while surrounded by candles – Fox's caption served up a few question marks.
"In July of 2020 we sat under this banyan tree. We asked for magic… we were oblivious to the pain we would face together in such a short, frenetic period of time," she wrote.
"Unaware of the work and sacrifices the relationship would require from us but intoxicated off of the love. And the karma.
"Somehow a year and a half later, having walked through hell together, and having laughed more than I ever imagined possible, he asked me to marry him.

"And just as in every lifetime before this one, and as in every lifetime that will follow it, I said yes… and then we drank each other’s blood."
