Best Answer

You can get iron deficiency anemia. Your red blood cells have hemoglobin which require iron so they can take up oxygen. If the iron is low, the oxygen will be low. Signs of iron deficiency include fatigue, decreased work and school performance, slow cognitive and social development during childhood, difficulty maintaining body temperature, decreased immune function, and glossitis (an inflamed tongue).
