Would bronze maybe make the skin look gold?

(Skin color changes. Deposits of iron in skin cells can make your skin appear bronze or gray in color.)

Hereditary.

Excerpt

Hereditary hemochromatosis (he-moe-kroe-muh-TOE-sis) causes your body to absorb too much iron from the food you eat...

Excess iron is stored in your organs, especially your liver, heart and pancreas. Too much iron can lead to life-threatening conditions, such as liver disease, heart problems and diabetes.

The genes that cause hemochromatosis are inherited, but only a minority of people who have the genes ever develop serious problems. Signs and symptoms of hereditary hemochromatosis usually appear in midlife.

Complications

Untreated, hereditary hemochromatosis can lead to a number of complications, especially in your joints and in organs where excess iron tends to be stored — your liver, pancreas and heart. Complications can include:

Liver problems. Cirrhosis — permanent scarring of the liver — is just one of the problems that may occur. Cirrhosis increases your risk of liver cancer and other life-threatening complications.

Pancreas problems. Damage to the pancreas can lead to diabetes.

Heart problems. Excess iron in your heart affects the heart’s ability to circulate enough blood for your body’s needs. This is called congestive heart failure.

Hemochromatosis can also cause abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias).

Reproductive problems. Excess iron can lead to erectile dysfunction (impotence), and loss of sex drive in men and absence of the menstrual cycle in women.

Skin color changes. Deposits of iron in skin cells can make your skin appear bronze or gray in color.

This stuff is out there.

Excerpt

Because blood is so rich in iron — and because the body has difficulty excreting excess iron — any animal that consumes blood regularly runs a risk of iron overdose. While iron is necessary for all animals (and indeed most life), in high doses it can be toxic. This condition, called haemochromatosis, can cause a wide variety of diseases and problems, including liver damage, buildup of fluid in the lungs, dehydration, low blood pressure, and nervous disorders.
