Doctor, my fever might be odd

- Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- Blue (orange) thermometers restrict only even (odd) digits. That is, on a blue thermometer, the even digits strictly increase from the bulb end, and likewise for odd digits on an orange thermometer. Digits of the unrestricted parity can go anywhere and in any order on a thermometer.
- Thermometers are strictly dominated by digits of the restricted parity. E.g. a 4 cell orange thermometer must have at least 3 odd digits.
The puzzle is also available online in the CtC App. As always, I will greatly appreciate any feedback!
Solution code: Row 9, left to right.

I'm glad i came to this after the other similar 1 star puzzle. The complicated rules seems not so complicated now. I really like this category. Tq!
Oh and yes, the blue color made it difficult to read.

I'm very glad you liked them - the ruleset gets even more enjoyable when you set puzzles with it! ;)
I very much agree with the comments on my first (horrible) colour choice. I owe a big thank you to TheBard and whoever redesigned the colours for the video on CrackingTheCryptic!

That was so much fun! Absolutely love the odd/even thermometers! But definitely agree with The Bard - would perhaps prefer green/pink lines over blue/orange.

Small bit of feedback the coloring, especially the blue, made it hard to see some of the digits and pencil marks. But a very creative puzzle.

I will absolutely keep that in mind. Thank you!
