You get iron oxide in your body
if you didn't have iron oxide in your body you would suffocate.
haemoglobin is the metalloprotein that carries oxygen around your body, it uses iron to carry oxygen around the body (real explanation vastly more complicated, but it's close enough)
That's also why both blood and rusty nails are red, iron oxide is red.
