hemophilic
Prone to bleeding
Hemophilic describes something that has an affinity for blood, particularly organisms that thrive in blood or bloody environments: hemophilic bacteria.
The term also relates to hemophilia, the hereditary bleeding disorder in which blood fails to clot properly.
A hemophilic person or hemophiliac lacks certain clotting factors, making even minor injuries dangerous.
