Jan,
Yes, I know about it. My grandfather had it. My cousin (my grandfather's brother's son) has it. Bloodletting is the answer. My grandfather used to get irritated because they would just throw the blood away -- not give it to anyone who might need it. I'm not sure why, tho. I could use some extra iron, I think.Glad you caught it. Good luck.
