Bacteria that converts blood into lethal acid

Could a genetically modified bacteria convert human blood into a lethal acid? If so, what would be the easiest lethal acid to produce from blood?

You have serious issues...

Its propably best you spoke with the proper specialist/s.

ASAP

In movies, it definitely is possible. It would probably become sulfuric acid, or something like that. Of course there is no reason it couldn't turn into gasoline or a banana-smoothie either.

There are some pretty gruesome bacteriae out there, so I can't say for sure it's "absolutely impossible" - but I do think so. See, bacteria can't just convert the plasma they're living in - in fact, (most?) bacteria are completely dependent of their environment, so if they'd convert it to acid, it would kill them.

Mmm.. this would really make a pretty gory movie

No, not bacteria.

Alcohol!



What a thread

You should change the title, it is slightly misleading. I was expecting to read about something thats changing blood into acid.

Phew......

You better stay away from science labs with ideas like this!!
