Topic Thursday

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?
