two artistic renditions of red blood cells, in a cartoonish artstyle. one is a healthy, round red blood cell, and the other is a cell with sickle cell, causing it to be shaped like a sickle or a crescent moon.

Image I stole off of google but like. Thats crazy. Why did i never know this!?

Also i misread this as “hemogoblin” which is so funny to me.
