Woo Anemia.

[DarkMoonSlayer]

Doc did a blood test and discovered my hemoglobin levels are super crazy a** low. Like half of what is considered normal/healthy. So low I almost need a blood transfusion.

This is why I am still sick he thinks. I have a generic virus in my system plus super anemia from hell that is lowering my immune system.

SO now I am gargling salt water every now and then and have to take three iron pills every day. I hate iron pills they taste super gross going down. ; n;

"The Hemo-Goblin was a vampire created to help a white-supremacy group eliminate non-whites. He is notable mainly for infecting members of the New Guardians with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS"

A vampire that bites black people to give them aids....really DC...really?

"Drinking one cup of tea immediately after taking iron pills reduces the amount of iron absorbed by more than 70 percent. Black tea has the greatest inhibitory effect, reducing absorption by 80 to 95 percent. However, herbal teas such as peppermint and chamomile also decrease iron absorption by 50 percent to 80 percent"

or more scientific...

" For subjects at risk of iron deficiency, the following recommendations are made. Increase heme-iron intake (this form of dietary iron present in meat fish and poultry is hardly influenced by other dietary factors with respect to its absorption); increase meal-time ascorbic acid intake; fortify foods with iron. Recommendations with respect to tea consumption (when in a critical group) include: consume tea between meals instead of during the meal; simultaneously consume ascorbic acid and/or meat, fish and poultr"

You should never drink tea in the 30 mins before, and after eating anything you are hoping to get iron from, otherwise you are blocking your body from absorbing most of that iron.
