Has anyone had excessive iron in their blood? A bit freaked out…
Most of my family are carriers of one or both of the genes for this condition - Haemochromatosis. This means about a quarter of us actually have it. In fact it's very prevalent in Ireland genetically speaking so far from unusual here.
Nothing to worry about, it is generally very easy to manage, they'll take a pint of blood or so each month until your Iron levels look right. It takes years for iron levels to build up to anything dangerous. It's more serious for men than for women, simply because women up until menopause have a built-in monthly iron safety valve.
The largest pain is that you'll need to get your levels checked every 6 months or so afterwards.
Absolutely no big deal in most cases.
