Hypothetically someone might be ok even if they were coughing up blood, right?

If you swallowed a bunch of tacks recently, maybe.

Common causes of coughing up blood:

Pulmonary infection (bacterial or viral infection in the lung or airway)
Bronchitis
Bronchiectasis
Laryngitis
Pneumonia
Lung cancer (see metastatic lung cancer)
Irritation of the throat from violent coughing
Pulmonary embolus
Cystic fibrosis
Pulmonary aspiration (inhaling blood into the lungs)
From bleeding gums, such as with gingivitis
Nosebleed (epistaxis)
Tonsillectomy
Diagnostic tests, such as bronchoscopy, upper airway biopsy, laryngoscopy, lung biopsy, mediastinoscopy, or spirometry
Tuberculosis (TB)
Pulmonary edema
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)
Goodpasture's syndrome
Wegener's granulomatosis

If you don't know why you/they are coughing up blood then you should go to the hospital.

Whoa whoa whoa. I said 'hypothetically', and furthermore, hypothetically listerine does a very good job getting rid of the taste.

Sorry, I was a little overzealous.
Listerine? Good to know.
