What are People with Anemia resistant to?
Sickle cell anemia comes as the result of having two sickle cell chromosomes. One sickle cell chromosome makes people resistant to malaria. Unfortunately when people have two sickle cell chromosomes they can get sickle cell anemia. That makes it difficult for their blood to carry oxygen and under certain conditions makes their blood clump. The disease can be deadly. Drugs can help. It probably makes that person resistant to malaria. The sickle cell trait evolved in various places around the world where malaria is common such as Africa and Greece.
