| Abstract: | Only clear cloacal fluid was eliminated during the first 30–60 min after emergence of feeding on human blood. Neither meconium nor blood was voided. More liquid was excreted after withdrawing blood than after ecdysis, but the pattern of emission was the same, in that fluid was ejected rapidly only or mostly over the first 10–15 min after these events. Diuresis was not exhibited after adults fed on either sucrose or fructose. Injury prevents the release of the diuretic hormone. |
