So when I cut myself, how long does the blood have to be exposed to the
air to turn from blue to red?

LOL. Good one. And to answer your question, blood immediately turns
red when it's out of the vein. So "immediately".

So what is it about being exposed to air that turns it red? I have had
my share of blood shot eyes, and they looked red to me. Why doesn't the
air in my lungs turn it red?


Is Dr. Spock's blood always green, or just when it is exposed to air?

No. I didn't. I meant what I wrote, not what you quoted after snipping.

Bowing to you? No. That's not what I wrote. But you probably know that, since
you were the one who snipped the rest of the sentence off. I just figured that
you would have more experience with venereal diseases.

He uses AOL, so that must account for something, especially
since an AOL user cannot figure out how to configure their
DUN to connect to the WWW, Usenet, or Email.

It does. The freshly oxygenated blood leaving the lungs is red.... I guess
when you drop out of school during the 7th grade you don't learn about veins
and arteries, and how the circulatory system functions.

Don't tell me. Tell the guy who claims that blood isn't red until it is exposed
to the air.

Well I think I am wasting my time....but I will repeat:

When blood is EXPOSED TO AIR...OUTSIDE THE VEIN...it turns red. The
Spock reference is downright silly and I won't be responding to you
again.

Blood is red. Is read because of the iron and oxygen in it. It doesn't
turn red when you bleed. It was already red.

Next question. Is the light in your fridge always on or does it stay on?

On the slim offchance that you aren't a troll (and for the people
who actually want a real answer), Google for "Why do veins look blue?"
and plenty of websites will pop up with a scientific explanation.
Here's a sample of one:

http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mbloodrd.html

In short: Blood is NOT blue until it is exposed to oxygen. It
is red or dark red, depending on how oxygenated it is. But if by
chance the original claimant is a Smurf, then I apologize profusely
and accede that he/she is correct.

Yet it is still dark red... When I stick an artery
the blood is bright red, but when I stick a vein
it is dark red. It's never really "blue" but it is
definitely darker.

"and I won't be responding to you again."

So, were you so drunk that you don't remember this?

Have a nice day, and do some homework on oxygen and blood, please.
