  hmm you know wat? same thing is happening to me lor...but i blame it on the weather here.
  
  my hands and legs are peeling badly oso...and as for biting into something and seeing blood there, that has been happening for a long long while le. Like it is worse when I bite into something hard such as apple, so I tried not to eat apples in front of my frens lor.
  
  I found out that if I take my Vitamin C tablets more regularly, these bleeding will actually lessen...Maybe can try dat.

  scurvy is a disease you get from lack of Vitamin C. Eat more fruits and veggies lor. Or get those vitamin tablets and eat them regularly.

  Scury is something sailors suffered from on long journeys due to the lack of fresh fruits and vegetables. They suffer the same thing as you but imagine bleeding from their eyes.
  
  Just consume more fruits and veggies day in day out, don't get dependent on supplements. The effects are worse when you stop taking them.
  
  p.s. i was kidding about the bleeding from the eyes part.
