Blue rats Part 2


This is actually the same rat as my last rat post. Now yes this is the same rat but this is before the treatment so as we all know from my last post the rat was injected with a derivative of blue dye, blue 1, which scientists think helps spinal cord injuries. Now that that's out of the way they tested the blue dye on rats that were put on anesthesia and a weight was dropped on they're back, which gave them spinal injuries so the test was physically correct. Now unfortunately the dye will not be in hospitals for a few years due to risks, but the scientists of this experiment suggest patients with spinal cord injuries should drink blue Gatorade or some other drink with only blue 1 dye for its possible benefits.
