Answer 1

Unless you are describing a visit to the hospital I would take the word "muestras /samples" out of your sentence.

The phrase "sangre, sudor y lágrimas" implies that in order to achieve something you incurred a great cost. It is totally unnecessary to specify the amount of tears or the quantity of blood implied.

Answer 2

Cuando se sude tinta produce lágrimas a causa del dolor - When one sweats blood it produces tears because of the pain.
