thanks for having me! important note idk if it was editing or I misspoke in blood rushing excitement--probably the latter bc I mean, it's wired magazine--the diastolic / lower number is still an arterial pressure read veins are passive / not part of BP but still all a closed circuit and this is why i'm not a cardiologist.. at the dismay of uncles and aunties everywhere i'm sure 😮💨

Hats off to hematologists frfr. My daughter’s hematologist had the tiniest hunch that my daughter had AML due to consistent blood testing and other health factors that put her at extremely high risk. She was scheduled for a bone marrow biopsy that same week. By Monday of the next week, her hematologist gently delivered the diagnosis, thoroughly explained her treatment plan, and had us admitted to hospital the next day. She would make sure to speak to us when she was in for morning rounds and really held our hand through it. My daughter is now in remission thanks to her.

However, other years, I ended up getting more than one bite so I would assume that mosquitos can smell the toxic chemicals running through my blood. Just something I found intriguing.

I wonder if crustaceans and other animals that use hemocyanin to transport oxygen instead of hemoglobin have different blood types, too. Hemocyanin is like hemoglobin in that it transports oxygen through the blood, but it uses 2 copper atoms instead of a single iron atom like hemoglobin. That's why crabs and lobsters and other crustaceans have blue blood. If you watch a video of horseshoe crab blood being collected you can see the color nicely. It's a beautiful color, really. But sad that we bleed horseshe crabs half to death because their blood is more precious than gold.

But when I pay attention, I notice that they actually also bite me ! But my skin doesn't react so much and I don't feel pain, so most of the time I feel like they are not interested in my blood. But they are biting me, I just don't notice it ! So maybe mosquitoes actually bite anyone they find on their way, but some people notice it more than others and they feel like they are being beaten more.

i remember hearing a long time ago that it had something to do with the iron in your blood. it's still not actually figured out though? if it hasn't, this would be an interesting coincidence, but i rarely get the opportunity to eat red meat anymore so i suspect my iron levels are quite low. i haven't had issues with mosquitoes in over a decade. but i used to have a ton of issues and i know my dad still has issues etc. so i always took that info about needing iron to be fact.

Depends on vax..flu shots give many the flu. Also, blacks need MORE VITAMIN D3 or fish oils Melanin could block it Dr. Sanjay may need more too
