September is Sickle Cell Awareness Month.
Sickle cell disease(SCD) is an inherited blood disorder. It is characterized by periods of severe pain caused by sickle-shaped red blood cells. Millions of people do not know they have sickle cell trait, because the trait usually does not cause illness. That’s why it’s important to be tested.
