Hi,

At the same time one red blood cell dies your body makes another one. So 
you will not notice that you lost "one cell." For example, scientists have 
found that in one second, you will lose about 3 million red blood cells 
but at the very same time your body makes another 3 million red blood 
cells to replace them.

Please feel free to email me if you have any other questions or more

Have fun with science!
Elsa
