You are correct; it's not blood it's myoglobin.  That's why the excuse 
some people give about not wanting a medium-rare or rare steak because 
of the "blood" is specious.

Can't they smell themselves?  There is not much worse than being in an 
enclosed space with someone who has intense B.O.  I used to work with a 
temp who had horrible B.O.  The company hired two temps and the other 
poor guy had to share a cubicle with this dude.  Our supervisor had to 
have a talk with him.  He claimed to have a medical condition which 
caused him to perspire more than most people.  Maybe yes, maybe no; the 
funk was unbearable.  There were other issues, though; he was 
chronically late, always with some lame excuse.  The company wound up 
hiring the other temp full time and told the agency not to send the 
other guy back.
