Once I went to donate blood and the tech told me I had too much iron in my blood.

It's not good to have too much iron in your blood. It could be caused by your diet or by a iron-retention disorder such as hemochromatosis. Excess iron can damage various systems in your body. You should have this checked out by a doctor.

Thanks very much, and I will remember this — it’s been a while since I have had a complete blood count done.

At the time I was told about the high iron, I was still taking a daily vitamin with iron. I have stopped doing that.

Appreciate your concern.

(This reminds me, last time I had a tetanus shot was 1998, speaking of med-related things I haven’t done in a while.)

Women rarely have hemochromatosis, because of the menstrual cycle.

Regular bleeding was the old cure for the disease.

But if you're way up on the iron count, might want to run it by the doc. Probably it's the skillet, though.
