Thank you to those who alerted CCHSC to this short and informative video “Horseshoe Crabs” that aired on CBS Sunday Morning” on August 11, 2024. Definitely take a minute to take a look.

One part of the video that CCHSC found of particular interest was the positive information from Eli Lily regarding synthetic substitutes for the bio medical use of horseshoe crab blood.

For another important update on the use of synthetic substitutes for horseshoe crab blood, check out this update from Mass Audubon.
