On Green Blood...

I just had to post this because it's so crazy... we all thought it was a joke, but green blood can be had.

From Cabinet of Wonders (which is where I got the picture of the blue man on my last post, who became blue from drinking colloidal silver, because he looked great!) this is an article on a man with green blood:

Well we have had various colours of skin and sweat but something more internal? Well there are blue bloods and red blooded males but green blood? Surely it is a sign one's mother had conjugals with ET? The Purging Squads stand in readiness to purge the inhuman taint but meantime we will have a look at Medical News Today's round up of the report from The Lancet:

The man - a 42-year-old white Canadian - had developed a compartment syndrome (localised tissue/nerve damage due to restricted blood flow) in both lower legs after falling asleep in a sitting position. He was a smoker whose medical history included chronic shoulder pain and migraine, and was taking a number of regular medications, including sumatriptan to treat the migranes

...

In the operating theatre, multiple attempts to insert a radial arterial catheter yielded dark greenish-black blood, which was immediately sent away for analysis. Meanwhile the catheter was eventually fully inserted, and the man recovered well.

Sulfhaemoglobinaemia, rather than cyanosis, was diagnosed as the cause of the green-black blood. Cyanosis is usually caused by deoxyhaemoglobin (the deoxygenated form of the blood's oxygen-carrying haemoglobin molecule), which imparts a blue colour to the skin and mucous membranes. However, occasionally this discolouration can be caused by sulfhaemoglobin - which forms when a sulphur atom is incorporated into the haemoglobin molecule, and can be caused by medications, including sulfonamides.

Is that not the craziest thing you've ever hear!? Hopefully MS does'nt show up at his blood drawing on March 17th with green blood, because they'd probably be calling in some big time doctors if he did. ;)
