This is ridiculous sorry. As an example, thalassemia is common (>20% carrier rate) in South and Southeast asia. Many thalassemia carriers will present as mildly anemic. In asia, the doctors will often test for thalassemia first, because taking iron if you carry thalassemia and have mild anemia as a result, can cause permanent injury. Sometimes, pregnant women are told to take iron, and develop hemochromatosis, which puts both them and the baby at risk of major complications. |
