Sometimes, the things I read about biology gross me out.

But even then, they're really interesting. Like serum. Serum is a substance that regularly fills small blisters. It's a clear fluid which comes from damaged blood cells. It isn't red because it's a part of blood, but is devoid of clotting factors or blood cells. It's also sterile, provided you don't pop your blisters (which is gross, so don't do it).

Also, I want to see isolated L-theanine.

It could be.

By the way, why were you reading about blood serum? Is this for a class, or for your own enjoyment?

Well, it started because I was thinking about wounded people. And then it just followed a natural course of thought for me about different sorts of wounds.

Then I was grossed out by some of them, so... I guess I was just interested in what makes some of us up.

There were quite a few wounded in that last battle, weren't there? The medics did a good job treating everyone. However, I understand that even medics are sometimes grossed out by wounds. One of them is a friend of mine.
