What is Sickle Cell Trait?
Sickle Cell Trait occurs when a person inherits one sickle cell gene and one normal gene. People with the trait usually do not experience symptoms of sickle cell disease but can have complications under extreme stress or environmental conditions. Carrying an ICE card helps emergency responders recognise your status and provide appropriate care.
