uhh. i wouldnt say they are comparable. one is an eating disorder (anorexia) where one starves themselves and the other (anemia) is when blood vessels rupture and break down

both can be very dangerous and possibly life theatening but thats about as much as they have in common

Anorexia is worse than strep throat, by far. Strep throat is (usually) a short term illness that is treated with medication and a doctor's visit.
