Sickle cell disease is a chronic illness that comes from two parents who have sickle cell trait. This disease can be passed on if both parents have a sickle cell trait & gives that child each trait.

It is only when you have children that knowing if you carry the trait is vital. Your child could be born with a painful, chronic, underexposed illness that will require that you have more knowledge than most doctors. Arm yourself with knowledge & get ready for a long fight for justice.
