#It is permitted to smell food which is forbidden from benefit and certainly something non-kosher unless the food was prepared specifically for fragrance. <ref>The Gemara Avoda Zara 66b discusses whether a smell ('reyacha') is halachically significant. The Rashba Teshuva 3:234 writes that for anything that isn't made to give off a smell even if it is forbidden for benefit such as Orlah or Kilayim it is permitted to smell. Tosfot Avoda Zara 12b s.v. elah disagrees. Shulchan Aruch Y.D. 108:6 rules like the Rashba, while Shach 108:27 sides with the Tosfot. [http://www.dailyhalacha.com/displayRead.asp?readID=1696 Rabbi Shmuel Pinchasi on dailyhalacha.com] follows Shulchan Aruch. See Or Tzadikim 12:59 who writes that one shouldn't smell non-kosher food since one might come to eat it.</ref>

#Human blood which separated from the area which it left the body is forbidden, however, if one’s gums are bleeding it is permitted to swallow that blood. <ref>The gemara Keritut 21b says that eating human blood is only derabbanan once it separated from the body. The gemara explains that if a person is eating and finds blood on the piece of food that is forbidden, however, if a person’s teeth are bleeding that blood is permitted and a person can swallow it. Rambam (Machalot Asurot 6:2) and Shulchan Aruch YD 66:10 codify this halacha. Rama YD 66:10 adds that if human blood fell into a food and isn't recognizable it doesn't forbid the mixture. The Pri Megadim S"D 66:16 writes that theoretically this is the case even if the human blood is in the majority.</ref>

# If someone finds a blood spot in an egg today should be strict to throw it out.<ref>Igrot Moshe OC 3:61 writes that although the majority aren't fertilized at all and there is no issue so the blood could be removed and the rest eaten but since eggs are so cheap it is right ot be strict and throw it all out.</ref>

eat fish and cheese because milk is derived from blood which causes the one who eats it to become cruel and when that mixes with fish which causes the one who eats it to become lazy together they are negative for a person's soul.
