I have so many scars from picking my scabs, it's a thing I can't help
GlennBecksChalkboard
but it's a doorway trying to seal itself shut.

I did this to my left arm this morning, i looked over a while later and wondered why there is a red line across my arm
AliennoisE
But they taste so niceeee....

I have to. My scabs don't fall off. Skin grows over them and they turn into moles... It's a delicate balance of waiting when to pick at them
TheUpsidedownestPersonAlive
Been picking scabs for as long as i remember. People tell me it'll get infected, but i've never had one. Did it strengthen my immunity?

Are those two blood cells banging doggy style in the first frame?

My body is a military fortress. When the viruses invade, sometimes my body calls for (medicine) reinforcements. PARAPILLS MOVE MOVE MOVE!

Anytime I get sick I become violently I'll within a few hours, then about 4 hours after I've thrown up everything I've ever considered 1/2

Eating, I'm good to go. I also usually look like a zombie due to burst capillaries in my face. 2/2

Bloody hell.

It bothers me, that they used red blood cells (erythrocytes) in the comic even though it is the platelets (thrombocytes) that do scabbing.
PippyStrelly
I reckon the red cells should be delivery men, and platelets with hi-vis and hard hats and the white bloods cells with army hats.
emperorzerg
Same here
pressxtodoubt
Well the red blood cells do clot to temporarily close the wound, but they do not do the scabbing and healing.
FunAlternativeFact
You and me both.
thirtyhelensagree
I'm thinking they just used the most recognizable "blood shape" so people who don't know much about science can enjoy it..
anupvoteaday
Came here to post the same. Have my +1
MotionOfTheOcean
;D Yw
Vectorman2
Odd, it doesn't bother me at all because it is a simple web comic made to be amusing and not scientifically accurate

I think the red blood cells shown near the wound are meant to be flowing out, not patching it up.
MotionOfTheOcean
That is true, but the operation is lead by one too.
Belasco
I see no red blood cells doing the scabbing.
MotionOfTheOcean
The two characters discussing the operation were, what I referred to.
Belasco
So the red blood cells talking is ok but when they use the word "we" to refer to the collective effort of the blood it bothers you
MotionOfTheOcean
Pretty much, since it makes it tad bit misleading. Don't take it too seriously. ;)
CliffordJohnsonMiller
Fibrinogen become fibers that catch red blood cells for larger scabs too.
Calmeister
Dont even get me started with the clotting cascade.....*knuckles cracking*
CliffordJohnsonMiller
Goodness me, you've got me all excited. Let's hear it then...
MotionOfTheOcean
Well that IS true, yeah. Hmh... Didn't think of that. I'd still expect the soldier one leading operation to be thrombocyte.
spanair
Who'd trust that kind of operation to a cell without a nucleus
CliffordJohnsonMiller
Yeah, that's fair enough. Red blood cells don't do much by themselves generally.
Muffinmassacre
Fuckin nerds =^__^=
doctorbees
It's actually local leukocytes which release chemotactic signals to attract the thrombocytes.
MotionOfTheOcean
Good, good, we must go deeper into this! :D
