Heinz-body hemolytic anemia from the ingestion of crude oil : A primary toxic effect in marine birds. Leighton, F., A., Peakall, D., B., & Butler, R., G. Science, 220(4599):871-873, 1983. abstract bibtex Hemolytic anemia developed in young herring gulls and Atlantic puffins given daily oral doses of a Prudhoe Bay crude oil. Anemia developed 4 to 5 days after in initiation of oil ingestion and was accompanied by Heinz-body formation and a strong regenerative response. The data evince a toxic effect on circulating red blood cells involving an oxidative biochemical mechanism and the first clear evidence of a primary mechanism of toxicity from the ingestion of crude oil by birds.
