What is the definition of consumption? For example, if blood oozes from my gums and my saliva turns yellowish or reddish without any visible blood droplets, meaning the blood and saliva are mixed together, does this count as consumption? Or should the color of the saliva remain unchanged for it to be considered consumption?

His Eminence Ayatollah Khamenei and Ayatollah Sistani (may God protect them):
Consumption is defined as: the dissolution of one substance in another to the extent that it no longer exists in a recognizable form.
May you be successful in all good.
