Lightbulb it is complicated...

I've posted this information several times.

Hemochromatosis is a genetic disease (very common in Irish 1:3 carry the gene)
and ultimately fatal. Often not diagnosed until too late.

I have some posts about it recently on PN, if you search there.
One website states that you can have low iron (red blood cells) and still have it high in tissues --deposited there.

It causes all sorts of problems and for some reason is not screened for in people. (even though it is about the same % as identical twins occur.)
