my only question is WHY !!!!
"Horseshoe crab blood has the unique property of being able to sterilize a class of endotoxins that other compounds cannot. Without horseshoe crab blood, it would be difficult to ensure that intravenous drugs, vaccines, and medical devices are free of bacterial contamination. As such, the blood of the horseshoe crab is in high demand, and substantial harvesting operations are in place." ~Nature World News
