Text(5th+errata):Target creature gets +4/-4 until end of turn. If this would reduce that creature's toughness to less than 1, it reduces it to 1 instead. [Oracle 1999/09/03]
The +4/-4 is applied when the spell resolves and will not lower the toughness below 1. So, if a 1/1 creature has Blood Lust cast on it, it becomes a 5/1 creature. Later spells to modify toughness modify from this base, so a Giant Growth would make it an 8/4 creature. [WotC Rules Team 1995/02/09]
The amount that Blood Lust lowers toughness is calculated when it resolves and is not recalculated later. If it resolves on a creature that is currently 3/3, then it will change to be a +4/-2 effect. It will not change to be anything else later. See Rule T.8.3. [D'Angelo 2000/12/14]

It can be targeted while on the stack. The "can't be targeted" ability only works while it is in play. [Invasion FAQ 2000/10/03]
