During her appearance on the show, she expressed that blood holds the same importance for her as water and she even mixes blood with her coffee every morning.

Additionally, she mentioned enjoying blood consumption while engaging in activities such as reading, relaxing, watching TV, or painting.

Michelle distinguishes between types of blood, expressing a preference for pig's blood over cow's blood.

While many people may find the idea repulsive, Michelle compares drinking blood to drinking wine.

"It's a similar experience," she explains.

Rather than finding the taste unpleasant, she finds it comforting. "When it goes down my throat, it's like having a cold and drinking a hot toddy."

Over the past decade, she estimates that she has consumed approximately 3,785 litres of blood.
