I have this. It's called hemochromatosis. Blood banks must have a special variance to use it as donor blood. In my area neither of the blood banks have the variance so my blood is "burned". Such a shame because I have a unit drawn off several times a year and it goes to waste. I've been told the high iron levels are good for chemo patients and neonates.
THat’s interesting. I read about it in a book I read this year on genetic diseases. I had never heard of it, altho interestingly my Dr. just tested me for it because of some symptoms I’m having. Of course, I didn’t have it. But I had never heard of it before reading that book. (quite an interesting book, called Survival of the Sickest).

I mention that I have high iron every time I donate to the ARC. They don’t appear concerned about it and usually say B neg is valuable...
