The only common human body fluid that can appear blue is semen, which fluoresces blue under ultraviolet (UV) light due to compounds like acid phosphatase, but it looks whitish/yellowish to the naked eye; however, in some animals (like crustaceans), hemolymph (insect/arthropod blood) is naturally blue because of copper-based hemocyanin instead of iron-based hemoglobin.
Semen fluoresces blue between 300-450 nm, in the ultraviolet range. Most fluids must be dry before they exhibit fluorescence. A possible exception would be urine. Depending on the composition and quantity of nutrient intake, certain compounds could be expelled which fluoresce in their liquid state.
Blood is always red. Blood that has been oxygenated (mostly flowing through the arteries) is bright red and blood that has lost its oxygen (mostly flowing through the veins) is dark red. Anyone who has donated blood or had their blood drawn by a nurse can attest that deoxygenated blood is dark red and not blue.
Bile is a sticky, thick, greenish-yellow fluid that your liver produces. It plays an important role in digestion, especially in helping your body break down fats from the food you eat. Another name for bile is gall.
Hemolymph is mostly water, but it also contains ions, carbohydrates, lipids, glycerol, amino acids, hormones, some cells and pigments. The pigments, however, are usually rather bland, and thus insect blood is clear or tinged with yellow or green.
Thus, in the cockroach, the hemolymph is colorless. The blood of the cockroach does not carry oxygen and also they don't have vessels. So the blood of cockroaches can be said to be colorless or white as well.
Believe it or not, insects don't technically have "blood," at least not in the red-colored, oxygen-rich way we're accustomed to. Instead, they circulate a unique fluid called hemolymph that is often clear or yellowish and doesn't contain hemoglobin and red blood cells.
Bile duct or liver disease: If there's a problem in your liver or bile ducts and bilirubin increases in the bloodstream, it can cause orange urine. Kidney disease: Certain health conditions related to your kidneys can cause dark urine, which may look orange or brown.
Green or yellow vomit, also known as bile, is produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. The release of bile occurs when an individual is vomiting on an empty stomach or is suffering from bile reflux.
Standard Color Range of Healthy Bile
Healthy bile is usually golden yellow to green. The yellow comes from bilirubin, made when the liver breaks down hemoglobin. Green bile might mean there's more bile salts in it.
Golden blood is the rarest kind of blood known in the world. It's also called Rh null blood, and about 43 people have ever been reported to have it. "The name 'golden blood' can sound like this is blood that's somehow more pure or safe for transfusions,” Dr. Otrock shares.
Venous blood is defined as the impure blood that returns to the heart after passing through capillaries, characterized by a higher concentration of waste products, carbon dioxide, and urea, and a lower pressure compared to arterial blood.

Your veins are actually full of dark red blood — darker than the blood in your arteries, which is cherry red. The blood in your veins is darker because it lacks oxygen. Your veins look blue because of the way light rays get absorbed into your skin.
Semen is normally translucent or whitish-gray opalescent in color. Semen that is yellowish, greenish, reddish, or brownish, as well as semen that is too thick or watery or carries a foul odor, can prevent sperm from achieving fertilization. Abnormal semen can be caused by infections, diseases, and other causes.
Wavelengths in a blacklight cause phosphorous and proteins in the urine to glow, making it easier to spot old stains. Pet stains that weren't cleaned properly with an enzyme-based cleaner will show up under UV light as well.
Normal, healthy semen is a milky white, or grayish liquid, with the consistency of egg white or honey. The smell of semen is typically described as alkalinic, akin to bleach.
Red or Pink Vomit
Where black or dark brown vomit indicates partially digested blood, red and pink vomit flags the presence of fresh blood. If you have found yourself vomiting large amounts of red or pink vomit, you must seek medical attention urgently, as this could be a life-threatening emergency.
This is because vomiting consists of a mixture of gastric acid, food, enzymes and bacteria. The stomach acid and bacteria in particular are responsible for the unpleasant smell. The combination of these substances creates a chemical reaction that creates a strong and stinging smell.
Coughing and vomiting white foam could be linked to acute asthma or accidental ingestion of substances like hydrogen peroxide.
The most common reasons for cloudy urine include dietary choices, dehydration, physical activity, and certain medications. For instance, high alkaline levels in urine, which result from a diet rich in fruits and vegetables or low in protein, can lead to cloudy urine.
Chlorhexidine belongs to a group of medicines called antiseptic antibacterial agents. It is used to clean the skin after an injury, before surgery, or before an injection. Chlorhexidine is also used to clean the hands before a procedure. It works by killing or preventing the growth of bacteria on the skin.
Yes, ants have brains – albeit very small ones. An ant's brain has 250,000 neurons. Human brains, by comparison, have more than 100 billion brain cells.
Cockroach has no blood as such but yet it breathes.
Snails, spiders and octopi have something in common- they all have blue blood! We're not talking in the sense of royalty, these creatures literally have blue blood. So why is their blood blue and ours red? One of the purposes of blood is to carry oxygen around the body.
