Im certain you are kidding, but in case you think it is hard to prove. The easiest way is go to aa lab have your blood drawn with a vacutainer (a standard blood vial) . By definition there is no oxygen in the tube the blood appears in the tube exactly as in your body it is not blue.

I was kidding, but I appreciate your response anyway. Interesting.

How do they keep the vial free from oxygen?
