Although sickle cell anemia(SS) and sickle cell disease(SC) are considered genetic mutations, I believe the question is...What are possible causes for a sickle cell attack? Anything that causes a constriction of the blood vessels would seem to be a cause. Smoking, coffee, and alcohol to name a few. Dehydration also appears to play a big role.
