In our blood we have hemoglobin, which contains iron, in an aqueous environment with high salt concentration—but it doesn't rust. Hemoglobin carries the oxygen molecule, does very specific things with it, and prevents the rusting process.
This is actually a really good question becuase there are scientists trying to figure out if they can apply this principal to iron and keep it from rusting. This is an interesting article about it:

a sparkling, sharp chrome metal or copper Chore-lady, used with a large style of elbow grease less than operating water will take off a large style of rust. There are 2 or 3 kitchen cleansers on the marketplace made exceedingly for aluminum and chrome metal -- accessible in maximum supermarkets - which do help the Chore-lady extensively. customary kitchen cleansers, like Comet, Babb-O or Dutch cleanser are likely better ideal than no longer something yet do not look just about as efficient. Barkeepers chum or Kleen King are better ideal for this objective. devoid of any doubt, the most efficient thanks to eliminate that rust is with a motor pushed cord brush fixed on a workbench. once you've get entry to to at least one you're in success. Hand brushing with a cord brush is a sluggish, tedious and ineffective procedure; a lot so that you'll be able to just about stay with the Chore-lady and metallic cleanser and ignore the cord brushing. With a rotary brush, accessible save going over it and over it and it and it seems better ideal each and every of the time. at the same time as sufficient is sufficient is as a lot as you, yet a very last procedure earlier giving up on the brushing will be an in one day soaking in a truly solid answer of Lime-Away. Lime-Away is an acid and about the most excellent acid that Ol' Jack might want to point, because any solid acids are very risky to apply and could, for sure, attack the bottom metallic besides because the rust. once you've finished your very last cord brushing, wash the piece thoroughly with customary detergent, rinse and dry it properly and season it an same as you may want to a sparkling piece as defined in Ol' forged iron Jack's renowned bulletin "forged iron Jack McGraw's most suitable technique for Seasoning forged iron Cookware" (above).

Yes it does, seriously. Iron molecules bind with oxygen in our lungs and then transport the oxygen to different parts of our body. The process of iron bonding to oxygen is the same process as when the iron in a nail rusts. Without "rusty blood" we would die in minutes.

When we mention metal in any compound, we mean the metal ions. Ions do not rust, only iron metal atoms (element) rusts.
The iron ion present in haemoglobin (red-blood cells) is in the form of Fe^2+ ions.
When a manufacturer says that there is no sodium in the mineral water he produces: what he means is that there is no sodium ions. Sodium metal reacts violently with water.
When we say that we need calcium for our bones, we mean calcium ions....and not calcium metal.

No
the iron in blood remain in ferrous state ie. Fe2+
however, rust is actually iron(III) oxide,Fe2O3 , where the iron in in Fe3+ state.

No, it isn't metallic iron, it is a compound of iron. Only metallic iron rusts.
