Sickle.cell anemia is the most com-mon and most severe ofthese disorders. _ :_ There have beenT manymisunderstandings and.myths about sickle cellanemia which " needclarification. A common. ;myth is that sickle celldisease and sickle cell trait. are.contagious. This is not. tangs The disease and traitcan be passed on in onlyone way, and that. isthrough genetic inheritance.Another myth is that people_ with sickle cell disease will_ live past the age of 25. This is ,also false. With proper care,many people can live a longerlife.

The; patient- anemia should eat a dietwith sickle celllower in iron, because iron.stores in the patient arealready in excess. Iron richfoods such. as liver, iron-fortified formula, and iron-fortified: cereals should. beexcluded. The diet should-also be low in fat (less than~~. because ananemia - 1Sosourcesopotatoes,_ bread, dark. green30.percent of a personTs dai-ly kilocalorie intake),because of the liver diseaseand possible gallbladdercomplications.
