There is an episode in Elementary that involves the Horseshoe, its extraction and conservation. It is just a regular episode, but the visual presentation of the extraction was fascinating. I hope they are real. :)

Few things look more cruel and dystopic than the rooms where they harvest the blood of horseshoe crabs

Is there any alternative to using horseshoe crab blood in the development of the pharmaceutical compounds that keep us safe?

They are a (relatively) recent part of the production pipeline. Before introducing horseshoe crab blood, they used to inject rabbits and wait a couple of weeks. Now the wait has been reduced to minutes - which reduces storage costs and increases certainty.
But there are other options.

Has anyone on HN gotten the horseshoe crab pin and can share the story?
