My mother can't understand how my son (a veterinarian) can perform surgery without getting queasy.

Looks pretty close to the real thing. You wanna see blood, if only I could show you guys some photos from the kill floor at the cattle slaughter house I worked at from 1973 to 1978 in Emporia Ks called Iowa Beef. We processed 180 head per hour 8 hours a day two shifts. That place gave a whole new meaning to blood. Many people couldn’t take working there for long, we had lots of Mexicans. Paul

No, simple food coloring....but as often happens to be the case, this came out differently than expected.

I know the insides of human beings suddenly and violently being transported to the outside shell of their humanness...

And this suddenly was too realistic even for me...I think I suffered a bit of PTSD, but it is a fine picture of what might be...and so I worked and posted this, though for some I maybe should put a warning label.

Best Wishes, Traveller

Please tell me that's simulated blood.
