Unfortunately, there are some people who actually bleed green only under some circumstances. Here, we bring to you an amazing fact on why, when and how can one bleed green.

Astonished by such a condition, the medical team sent his blood for analysis within no time. The test revealed that this blood discolouration was caused by sulfhaemoglobinaemia, which occurs when a sulphur atom gets incorporated into the oxygen-carrying haemoglobin protein in blood.

According to doctors, the patient’s migraine medication was the main culprit behind this condition. “It is possible that our patient’s arguably excessive intake of sumatriptan, which contains a sulfonamide group, caused his sulfhaemoglobinaemia,” they say.

In other conditions, if you cut yourself almost 30ft underwater, you will gradually bleed a bright emerald green. This is because there is no red light in water. However, if you move even deeper, the blood will change its colour from green to black!
