Sickle Cell Anemia |
Bacteria From Uncooked Hamburger Meat07/03/2008 |
My wife has sickle cell anemia and up until around 2002 she rarely got sick with any pain crisis. The summer of 2002 my brother had a barbeque and one of the hamburgers was not fully cooked. She ate it and since then she seems to get sick every 3 to 4 months. My question is, is it possible that the uncooked meat left some bactieria in her system that has never left and it`s causing her sickle cell to act up?
The bacteria from the hamburger is long gone. I think it is just a coincidence.
