blood spot
Small crimson stain
A blood spot is a small mark or stain of blood.
In eggs, a blood spot is a tiny red or brown speck on the yolk caused by a ruptured blood vessel during formation—harmless and edible, though often removed for appearance.
In medical screening, a blood spot is a dried sample collected on filter paper, especially for newborn testing: The heel prick blood spot screens for metabolic disorders.
