8. Yellowing of the skin and the eyes

As mentioned earlier, hemoglobin from the dead erythrocytes breaks down to bilirubin. It's a yellowish compound that breaks down hems in humans. When the body fills itself with it, pale and white surfaces grow yellow. The skin and the eyes are usually the first to be stricken by this symptom. Yellow eyes are sometimes also an indicator of liver failure. A sign like that is a serious one, and you shouldn't take it lightly if you encounter it in the mirror.
