Main Points Raised

  • One participant suggests that the bumps and bulges in the blood cells could be due to drying out or viral attacks.
  • Another participant expresses a desire for more information or clarification on the initial post.
  • A different participant claims to have determined that the appearance is simply due to the cells drying out.
  • There is a request for clarification on how the last participant reached their conclusion.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The discussion includes differing viewpoints on the cause of the cell appearance, with some participants proposing drying out as the explanation while others consider the possibility of viral involvement. The conversation remains unresolved regarding the definitive cause.

Contextual Notes

Is it because the bloodcells are dried out or because they are attacked by viruses?

Thanks for the post! Sorry you aren't generating responses at the moment. Do you have any further information, come to any new conclusions or is it possible to reword the post?
 
I found out it was just because they dried out.
