I would like a blue rat

So apparently, blue food coloring helps recovery from spinal cord injury in rats. The only side effect is that it turns the rats blue:



This leaves me with three final thoughts:

(1) I want a blue rat.

(2) Well, except not if I have to injure its spine first. Did they deliberately give rats spinal injuries? Lab work is not for me, man.

(3) On the other hand, my old, overly-reddish-hued elementary school librarian dyed blue would be hilarious. I once described her as a huge, squishy tomato with an attitude. She'd be a purple and blue tomato. And I wouldn't mind if she had a spinal cord injury first.
