Let’s clear up some common misconceptions about haemochromatosis! Awareness is key to
better understanding and managing this condition. Here are some myths versus facts:

🧬Myth 1: Haemochromatosis is a rare condition.
Fact: Haemochromatosis is one of the most common genetic disorders in people of Northern European descent.

⚠️Myth 2: Only men can get haemochromatosis.
Fact: While men are diagnosed more frequently and at an earlier age, women can also develop haemochromatosis, especially after menopause.

🍷Myth 3: You can only get haemochromatosis from drinking too much alcohol.
Fact: Primary haemochromatosis is genetic, while secondary haemochromatosis can arise from other medical conditions or excessive iron intake—not just alcohol consumption.

🩸 Myth 4: Once diagnosed, you can’t manage haemochromatosis.
Fact: Regular monitoring, dietary changes, and treatments like phlebotomy can effectively
manage iron levels and prevent complications.

💡 Let’s bust these myths together! Share this post to help raise awareness about haemochromatosis and empower others with the facts.

What is Haemochromatosis? 🤔

Haemochromatosis is a hereditary condition where the body absorbs too much iron from food, causing a toxic build-up in vital organs like the liver, heart, and pancreas. 🩺 Without early diagnosis and treatment, it can lead to serious health issues or even premature death.

In Ireland, it's particularly common—1 in 83 people have two copies of the HFE gene, making them at risk of iron overload. 🧬
One in five are carriers. Early detection is key! 🔑
