There is a condition (erythropoietic porphyria)which causes a group of defective hemoglobin to break down iron too fast causing anemia and sensitivity to sunlight. The broken down byproducts of the iron deposit in the bones and teeth giving them a stained reddish appearance which when seen in black light glows just like the Cheshire smile of Wonderland. Other animals and people have also been found with this deficiency. That covers my learning something new for today.
On a totally different subject has anyone else noticed that nowadays on the rare occasions that people are smoking in movies that they inhale but never exhale the smoke?
