Aaron,

        Would alkaline blood lead to increased *alkalinity* (is that a word?)
in other systems?  For example, when I was fat(er) and full of grain and
carbs, I appeared to have an acidic sweat:  my metal eyeglasses would
corrode in a matter of weeks and I had to buy glasses made of special
alloys; and I was very hard on my clothes.  Others on this list have
posted that they aren't as attractive to mosquitos on a paleo diet, and
I have noticed the same thing.
