Good to know. Next time I see a horseshoe crab I won’t just run at it screaming “Can I see your blood?!”

The crabs react better to it than most Uber drivers though.

Horseshoe crabs are vexing. We capture millions for their blood (useful for testing the purity of phama). There are alternatives, but biologist worry that the animals will suffer more if they become useless to humans.
