Sickle Cell Trait: Beware!!!

Sickle Cell Trait also has effects and no one really talks about this. Apparently in people who have the trait, cells can begin to sickle when people over exert themselves. This is something to beware of, please take care of yourself and get educated about how you can stay healthy if you have the trait or even think that you have it. Stay hydrated (this is ESSENTIAL as it will keep your blood cells from sickling), don't overexert yourself, avoid exercising or training in hot weather, and eat healthy! If you have experience with Sickle Cell Trait, please, please comment and say how you think it affects you or doesn't affect your life, knowledge is power! The videos below are helpful and informative, please watch and share, this may save someone's life.
