Maid Charged For Adding Menstrual Blood to Food
In a bizarre attempt to improve her relationship with her employer, an Indonesian maid has appeared in a Hong Kong court accused of adding menstrual blood to her employer’s food.
Things are not, however, as they seem for Indra Ningsih, aged 26.
Indra mixed menstrual blood into a pot of vegetables as a sort of guaranteed panacea for improving relations between herself and her employer.
It makes a little more sense if one considers that in some southeastern Asian cultures, menstrual blood is thought to have special powers.
Whether true or no, she has been charged with one count of “administering poison destructive or noxious substances with intent to injure” according to the media.
She has not yet entered a plea.
The noxious action was discovered completely by chance. Her female employer whose surname is Mok happened to enter the kitchen to her home and noticed the maid acting rather strangely. She caught her throwing something into the trash bin, which turned out to be a used sanitary napkin.
When she looked into the pot of vegetables, she noticed something “suspicious” floating around mixed with the vegetables and water.
Indra had no excuse except to say that things had been bad between her employer and herself, and she hoped to improve things.
Well, Indra, not likely.

By the way Lois, I got a piercing over there. I’m not going to tell you where but I will give you a hint–it wasn’t on my nose or my ear and it was one of my b*lls

I don't know which is worse:
1. The idea that menstrual blood has magik healing powers
2. Menstrual blood is a "poison destructive or noxious substance"
The first is ridiculous, but not necessarily dangerous.
The second seems a bit mysoginistic, but i suppose if its a term used for blood in general (bearing in mind risk for HIV, Hepatitis and other diseases) "destructive" could be considered appropriate (but not quite "poison" or "noxious").

I'm from Brasil, and I've never heard of anything like that before. And I'm shocked by this story.

All human body fluids, tissues and fecal matter are, and should be considered, biohazards. In a sexual relationship one assumes the risk of such contact but one does not assume such risks when hiring a maid. No one has the right to say that they know they are free of all disease so they can expose people to their body fluids or tissue without their knowledge. Even forgetting about the big risks like HIV and Hepatitis, most people have parasites and bacteria which may be harmless to them but in an immunocompromised person could be harmful. It is hard enough for these people to deal with their own burden of invaders and oportunists without being tricked into drinking those of others.
Always hire through an agency. A little instruction on food safety might have given her pause before doing this and if not, would have at least made it a more clear cut legal case.

Yea i heard it was something like Black Magic.. I know a true story about this exact same incident, but this one she gave it to her boyfriend and his family just for his family's wealthiness and marriage, as she came from a poor family. Its sickening hearing this kind of stuff.. :$

This is beyond disgusting and acceptable. The thought of it is completely repulsive.
