      Basically the amount of iron in your body even with a disorder that increases red cell production is neglible both because it is evenly distributed and because being bound into hemoglobin weakens its magnetic properties.

      Nothing. But I won’t lie and say I wasn’t curious if the magents would cause the iron deposits in my organs from shredding me on a cellular level. Doc said not to worry so I didn’t.

      Source: I have hemachromatosis. Had an MRI done with a ferritin count of 2400. For comparison: normal adult males usually have a ferritin count of 24-336.
