PSA: Iron Deficiency and Killing Trypanosomas

As you kill trypanosomas, you will get back the iron they stole, so killing trypanosomas can make you suddenly iron toxic. Keep that in mind if you are supplementing iron while treating tryponosomas (which you may be doing with good reason -- trypanosomas was the reason I was anemic for years and years).

When killing trypanosomas, taking b vitamins helps convert the recovered iron to red blood cells, reducing symptoms of iron poisoning.

As they say on Twitter: That's IT. That's the ENTIRE post.
