Red string may be:

• Worn on the left wrist, a single red string with seven knots is associated with Kabbalah; worn on the right wrist without the multiple knots, it is associated with Buddhism. Alternately, white string is also seen in Buddhism.
• Wearing a red string wrapped twice around the left wrist is used as a secret indicator between people that are anorexic or are pro-anorexia. To disguise it as a normal bracelet, girls like to add beads or hang butterfly charms from them. (Butterflies being a popular emblem of anorexia amongst girls.) Bulimics wear blue string; a combination anorexic-bulimic would wear purple string.
