>Hello, yesterday the girls got into the red licorice jar...today there were >a couple of red poops on the floor ... Hi Dave, My vote goes to licorice - blood generally looks brownish and musuousy, and tends to look clotted. The dye would stain the whole stool (mine once had green swirls from eating something with green food coloring). I'd get a better jar for that licorice, though...
