It could be because lysolecithin is a toxin that causes vasoconstriction affecting iron in the red blood cells which could be affected by lysolecithin being a "potent membrane modifier" and have an influence on free radicals, especially vitamin E. I don't really know an answer but this seems to make some sense.

Is staining what you call it if you diluted a blood sample with distilled water and the red blood cells burst?
You can certainly expect the blood cells to stain the water as their cell membranes rupture from being in a hypotonic solution. The term that describes this is "To lyse". Blood cells lyse in distilled water.
What is the correct order of experimental steps when extracting hemoglobin from red blood cells?
Separate cells from plasma, lyse cells, precipitate protein, dialyze protein sample
Why is it ok to drink distilled water but detrimental to red blood cells?
1) Red blood cells placed in placed in distilled water cannot reach equilibrium so they will lyse due to osmosis.2) Water you drink is assimilated into the body through the gut...it doesn't just hit the bloodstream or any other unprotected cells.
What cell transports oxygen?
red blood cells
What is the major difference between red blood cells and white blood cells?
Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, but white blood cells do not
Can ammonium chloride lyse red blood cells?
yes.
When red blood cells lyse what analyte is affected?
Potassium

What could you do to reduce interference from red blood cells?
Mix the blood in a hypotonic solution, which will cause the RBCs to lyse.

Do red blood cell absorb water?
yes, if the blood cells absorb too much water, they can "lyse" or burst. therefore, drinking too much water is dangerous.
What agar is used to demonstrate the ability of some organisms to lyse red blood cells?
Organisms that can metabolize the sugar found in cow's milk have what enzyme
What is the word that means when a cell swells and burst?
hemolysisSorry hemolysis is the incorrect term for when a cell bursts. It's called cytolysis when cells burst open. Hemolysis is a type of cytolysis, referring to the bursting of red blood cells.
Would hypertonic or hypotonic blood serum cause hemolysis?
If a cell is placed into a hypotonic solution, the water will flow into the cell causing it to swell and possibly lyse. If a cell is placed into a hypertonic solution, the water will flow out of the cell causing it to crenate. So hemolysis occurs when the red blood cells lyse.

What are the the cells that carry oxygen?
Red blood cells contain hemoglobin. These cells are also known as erythrocytes.
