During the warmer months, especially at night during the full moon, horseshoe crabs emerge from the sea to spawn. Waiting for them are teams of lab workers, who capture the horseshoe crabs by the hundreds of thousands, take them to labs, harvest their cerulean blood, then return them to the sea. Why? Elizabeth Cox illuminates the incredible properties of horseshoe crab blood. Lesson by Elizabeth Cox, directed by Anton Bogaty

I've gone ceptic three times due to a combination of my chronic illness and medical errors. These guys an the donated blood I needed to help my body bounce back from the brink of death saved me and I just wanted to say thank you to medical workers and people who donate blood thank you. Without these things I'd allmost certainly be dead.

And all they want to do is bust a nut and go to sleep in the ocean
