Red blood cells have ONE job – carry oxygen to your tissues. But throw some carbon monoxide in the mix, and suddenly they're like that friend who ditches you for someone slightly more attractive. The hemoglobin in red blood cells has about 200 times higher affinity for carbon monoxide than oxygen, which is why CO poisoning is so deadly. Your cells are literally suffocating while your red blood cells are busy having a toxic relationship with the wrong molecule. Talk about biological ghosting at its finest.
Oxygen? Never Heard Of Him.
