So, what is blood rain, you ask? Well, it is not related to vampires like I said earlier, I promise. So erase any association you might be having right now with vampire. You see blood rain is actually a meteorological phenomenon, actually an evidence showing that something not so good has been going on lately with the environment.
It is a situation where rainwater appears red or pink due to suspended particles. These suspended particle find their way into normal rain water before dropping to the ground and turns it blood like or pink like color and then you have what we call blood rain, totally not vampire related like I said.

Now imagine a scenerio where let say you got caught in traffic, and then there was some blood rain... probably it the first time you seeing a phenomenon like that and now, you're thinking – Is it safe to be caught in blood rain? Rest assured, and certainly, blood rain is harmless but believe me, there is a phenomenon called the acid rain, now acid rain can be very harmful, you definitely dont want to be caught in that. I would most definitely drop a post on acid rain soon, but till then lets focus on blood rain

Now, back to blood rain, blood rain is usually caused by dust or pollen particles, not, you know, actual blood. So, no need for a shower in holy water afterward.

Yeah one more thing, blood rain isn't a regular occurrence, so if you ever do witness it, consider yourself lucky to have experienced one of Mother Nature's weirdest moments.
You know, I wonder if there's a market for bottled blood rain water. Having a taste of the supernatural!". Now this lead us to next question which some are already thinking 👇

Can you drink blood rain water?

Well people the answer is a resounding NO! I repeat a resounding NO! Look at it from this angle, even normal rain shouldn't be taken in into the body system due to the fact that it could contain chemical contaminants, and that of course might lead to or gradually lead to serious health consequences except if proper purification can be done, in which it is then being made safe for drinking, then by all means drink the purified version and just keep glancing at the unpurified, it necessary for your health. Health is wealth.
