So when I did my day 3 blood work about a month or so ago, it should I have an abnormality with my iron. I thought I had somehow taken too much of my pre-natal pill. Not the case. I had to go and meet with the Hemotologist for more blood work.
Here's the cool part. So there are two parts to your iron, the iron level (which mine was fine),the there's the iron saturation (which is like the vehicles that transport your iron). Well I have ALOT of little vehicles. To make a long story short, this is traced back to one particular Viking that had this mutation. His linage were known to be better in battle because they weren't dying from their stab wounds and the woman weren't dying in childbirth like the others.
So this Viking and was known to do the deed with women in France, Italy and Germany (mom's side is from France). Guess he made his way around. I guess the only way it's a negative trait is if both parents carried this, which is unlikely. Or if I was making too much of the iron, which I'm not.
