[quote=Anonymous]Sickle cell trait is dangerous. It makes you more “fragile” or vulnerable than the average person. If a person with SCT gets slightly dehydrated, their life is in danger. If a person with SCT lives in or travels to a high altitude area or flies on a plane for an extended period of time, their life is in danger. If a person with SCT exercises too intensely, their life is in danger. They often don’t even realize that they can die from SCT. I would say there’s an added layer of danger because medical professionals do not take sickle cell trait anywhere near as seriously as they take sickle cell disease. People with SCT don’t receive the same proactive and preventative healthcare that people with SCD do.[/quote]
