Yo, cloudward ho Fandom! I just watched the most recent episode, and I have a theory to present to you!
So I'm studying esthetics, just as background for the reason im presenting this theory, but anyway- when Brennan said the blood from the eyeless hand guy smelled like a popped zit, that really caught my attention. Because there's only one type of zit that smells, a pustule. And the reason a pustule smells and has pus, aka white blood cells, in it, is because it either has a bacterial or fungal infection.
So, when he said the blood smelled like a popped zit, it made me think- this member, if not all members, of the eyeless hand, are infected with something that influences their behavior. And based on how much mushrooms have been brought up already, with the mind swap fungus, I'd argue that this could be an offshoot or relative of the mind switch fungus, inflicting some method of control, or maybe even making a hive mind out of these eyeless hand members.
Anyway, tldr: Members of the eyeless hand have some kind of infection in their blood, either bacterial or fungal.
