Episode Goofs
One of the guards had blood over his mouth when he bit Jayne. But later, when the Blue-Hand men arrive and look at them, the blood is gone.
Analysis
The little blue device the two Blue-Hand men uses had a deadly effect on anyone it encounters, but not the two Blue-Hand men themselves. It's apparent that they had build some sort of resistance against the device, probably of the implant we seen in their ears.
