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

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.
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
