Woman left shell shocked after discovering how blood works in our bodies – and she’s not the only one 

A WOMAN has been left shell shocked after discovering that blood doesn’t freely flow around the human body.

Chantal Derrick took to her TikTok page to share a video revealing her discovery, as she began: “Me and my mum have just had the most interesting conversation of my entire life.

“And I learned something today.

“So I thought – you’re going to think I’m an idiot – you know like inside your body you’ve got all your organs?

“Do you know when you pack a parcel and you put everything in and then you put the little styrofoam bits in?

“I thought our organs were the parcel bits and our blood was the styrofoam.”

Asking her mum to step in to explain more thoroughly, she could be heard saying: “So you just thought that you had blood flowing around…”

“Everywhere,” Chantal jumped in.

“But I didn’t know that it’s just in your veins and stuff.”

She concluded her video by admitting she didn’t know why she didn’t know that.

“Now I feel like a f**king idiot,” she laughed.

“But I can’t be the only person that thinks that, surely?”

Chantal added in the caption: “I literally feel so stupid – surely I’m not the only person on this planet to think this way.”

But she definitely wasn’t the only person not to think that way, as other people flocked to the comments section to weigh in.

“Omg I literally thought it was just flowing free round your body WHAT,” one person wrote.

“So how when we cut ourselves does blood come out?” another added.

“Surely it’s not coming out the veins??? I don’t believe this.”

“Well, you’ve just taught me something I didn’t know,” someone else commented.

As another wrote: “I’m 35 and I didn’t know that.”
