# I learned something today. TURNS OUT, ALOE VERA can literally bleed…

I learned something today. TURNS OUT, ALOE VERA can literally bleed red, much to my horror. And it looks EXACTLY like blood. I spent like 45 minutes looking for an injury and then peeked the roots and they were crimson. Thanks AV for that unexpected twist. (Poor aloe, 1st mites and then you bleed your own blood.)
