Talk about serious infection! LOL you don't want that in your circulatory system! LOL
well the "real" color of your blood has to do with how sick or healthy you are, the more healthy the darker the red color because of all the nutrients making it thick and full of the right stuff, it all depends. oh and have you ever had a blood gas test done before? they take the blood straight from an artery in your wrist, it never hits air or is exposed to anything else that might effect it's color so it is still the same red as the blood in your veins that are taking the toxins to be dumped out of your system. I learned the hard way, I had to have blood gas tests every other day for like two weeks and they told me the color is the same no matter where it is going to or coming from. it is the skin pigmentation that makes your veins look that bluish color under the skin. Plus they told us that in nursing school when I went to college and got my L.P.N. license.
I have a friend that when we go in together and do the blood donation thing the "vampires" all gather around her and brag on her about her blood being so healthy, it's almost black looking it is so red and it is thick, so thick it comes out slow. my blood is thin and almost milky because I have low iron, low calcium and low red blood cells. at the moment they won't take my blood for donation because I don't have enough rbc's or iron to be considered healthy enough to give to anyone. Plus my blood pressure has been like 80 over 50 for like a year now and my pulse stays in the 60's usually so my heart doesn't beat fast enough or hard enough to get a full donation amount out in the time allowed. It just depends on your health really.
Indeed.
Black blood is blood mixed with your stomach acid.
