Earth benders can do the same with the iron in blood

Air benders can blow up your lungs

Firebenders can remove the heat from your body or boil your blood

The iron quantity in blood is actually very low. And when the thing is made up entirely out of iron, then also the benders can be as free with them as they are with earth

Here's my alternate suggestion BONE BENDING. Bones are just huge chunks of mineral so must be free game.

The iron in blood is in hemoglobin, the stuff you need to exchange oxygen. Suddenly ripping all of that out wouldn't necessarily cause a lot of physical trauma. But the person will now immediately asphyxiate while feeling everything as they struggle to breath with no relief.

"Bone Bending" sounds like a euphemism for something else...
