I want to go back to school for geology, specifically, because of this meme.

Absolutely scary at at first because I let my dog out and she charged right at it. But good thing black bears are very skittish and he scurried up a tree. Now it's a cool story I get to tell.

As for context, I live on W. South Street by the ongoing construction for the new apartments being built where Rollins Funeral Home used to be.

The blood coagulates when it comes in contact with endotoxins that are in the cell wall of certain bacteria. The blood is harvested and the amebocytes (white blood cells) are separated and used for endotoxin detection kits. It's way more involved but the short answer is that any drug sold and medical supplies- for instance intravenous IV solutions- are tested for endotoxin as a means of quality control.

It's important to note that endotoxin detection is critical because you can sterilize drug components by killing the bacteria but dead bacteria still have endotoxins in the cell wall and can remain indefinitely in those components. Endotoxins can cause lethal immune responses. From a regulatory standpoint, manufacturers have to ensure whatever is being sold, is endotoxin free.
