View submission: Random blood drops on floor?
I have linoleum/vinyl fake wood flooring covering old hard floor. We are the “upstairs” with nothing beneath and the linoleum is waterproof so nothing gets through. I cleaned it up a bit ago with peroxide and it bubbled up super white and reacted like blood.

For what it's worth, this really isn't a reliable "is it blood" test. The reason peroxide cleans is because it is very reactive (and in fact this is why most "cleaning" things clean - they forcefully react with molecules to tear them apart and produce some other molecules - sometimes gasses, which are what cause the bubbling).
It might be blood, but if your only reason to believe so is the bubbling, then it might not be

This is gonna sound grotesque, but I’m thinking not blood, because on linoleum/vinyl wood floors, blood sort of dries up and “curls/flakes”. My cat lost a claw once, and the blood immediately flaked into a big piece on the floor.
