The biotech blitz to stop the spread of the coronavirus has conservationists worried about a little-known front-line worker: the horseshoe crab.
The creature s milky-blue blood is a key ingredient in tests used to ensure drugs aren t contaminated with endotoxins that could turn otherwise curative medicines deadly.
