I recently read something about this in a book called "The history of human stupidity", by Paul Tabori.
L. Clodius Hermippus, an oscure character quoted by many, presumably lived 115 years and 5 days just by inhaling the breath of young women. This became a
fashion in France: Old men payed money to had young maidens "breathing" around them.
And they didn't even had to "bleed them"... just taking advantage of their exhalation of life-force.
PS: Perhaps I should open a models agency... to have them breathing all around me.
