The forbidden love story of Bella and Edward of Twilight is sending many teens into a biting frenzy. Teen biting, sometimes to draw blood, is a secretive but growing trend steadily picking up steam. Doctors caution that breaking the skin can lead to serious illness.
Sexologist, Dr. Logan Levkoff said, "For the same reason we never thought becoming blood brothers or blood sisters was a big deal, it was just another one of these rites of passages years ago, we learned more everyday and recognized there are some things we just shouldn't do."
Doctors say teens need to be concerned about the biting trend. They could be infected with hepatitis, syphilis and HIV. Doctors say up to 15 percent of bites can become infected.
