If you are of Irish ancestry? 1 in 3 carry the gene for this disorder.
I know all about Hemochromatosis. I had an aunt die from the ramifications of it. I have the opposite problem. While her liver held onto iron, mine thinks that i don't need any. It is just as scary and can kill you faster than the other.
