Horseshoe-crab blood is exquisitely sensitive to toxins from bacteria. It is used to test for contamination during the manufacture of anything that might go inside the human body.

If you or any other horseshoe crabs you know were drained of blood without consent, call the law offices of James Sokolov. You may be entitled to significant financial compensation.
