Mishnah for Niddah 6:13

הָרוֹאָה כֶתֶם, הֲרֵי זוֹ מְקֻלְקֶלֶת, וְחוֹשֶׁשֶׁת מִשּׁוּם זוֹב, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי מֵאִיר. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, אֵין בַּכְּתָמִים מִשּׁוּם זוֹב:

Regarding a woman who saw a [blood] stain [on her clothing], she [with regarding to her counting of her days of impurity] is spoiled [i.e. she can no longer rely on her count], and she must take into consideration the possibility that there was a discharge [that day and the previous two days, rendering her a <i>zavah</i> and thereby impure for another seven days at least], according to Rabbi Meir. But the Sages say: [blood] stains do not contain discharge [and thus she need not suspect that she may be a <i>zavah</i> and therefore impure].
