Burton is a British dude who entered in the 1800s, we haven't drank blood in over a millennium (probably even more)

To be honest, when you read his book he's fairly impartial. At worst he often comes off as condescending in that typical 19th century cadaan kinda way but he doesn't really disparage or lie about Somalis at all. He even openly mentions it when there are good things to be said about them and pays his respects to several Somalis in his writings.

The word blood is used 61 times and nowhere could I find it being used to mention that someone drank blood. Is it in another one of his writings?

It wasn't from him, it had nothing to do with him, AFAIR it was pre-Islamic

Somalis are primarily Cushitic with direct Arabian admixture which imo probably post-dates Islam
