Horseshoe crab blood is a crucial component in medical testing, particularly for detecting bacterial contamination in vaccines and other injectable drugs. The blood contains a clotting agent called Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) that reacts to endotoxins, harmful substances produced by bacteria. This reaction allows scientists to identify and remove contaminated products, ensuring the safety of medical treatments.

South New Jersey for this particular fella. When I was in 5th grade I was in a group for students who were doing well and we raised a bunch of them. Very cool, their blood is blueish purple.
