There was a blood
drive not too long ago at the school where I work. Many students wanted
to give blood in memory of the student the blood drive was being held for. Many
students also got deferred, some for low iron, too young, didn't weigh enough,
etc. I had given some advice on eating more iron-rich foods, but it
didn't help, or it was too late to increase iron counts. How do you tell if
you're iron deficient? What are the symptoms? How do you get more iron in your
diet? Why is iron so important?
