Why, because you feel about a million times better right afterwards! Keep up the info about HH so many people have never heard of the disease. People of Northern European and especially Irish descent are more commonly diagnosed with HH...I am a quarter Irish myself. It’s super neat to have a phlebotomy when you have hemochromatosis!

Makes me think of using leeches to "bloodlet" as well, like when a finger is re-attached and there is too much blood in the digit. Wonder if that is still done, I heard it was? Where would the leeches be kept? Eeewww! Bloody interesting! Makes me think of using leeches to “bloodlet” as well, like when a finger is re-attached and there is too much blood in the digit.
