Mothballs can kill someone with G6PD Deficiency in a matter of a few hours. As far as food goes... anything with soy in it, and any products made from soy (which there are many). ALL legumes (beans, peas, peanuts, etc.) are also contraindicated. Drugs... there are too many to list. The most complete database of drugs or food is at g6pdeficiency.org. You can type in any food or drug and find out what the contraindications are. You can also join the forum (for free of course) and ask any question you want. The forum members are knowledgeable and experienced on the most recent info regarding all aspects of G6PD. As evidenced by the comments in the forum, from people who have G6PDD, or who have lost friends and loved ones because of it, there is a lot of mis-information floating around the net, and in the medical world. People are sick and dying unnecessarily because of lack of accurate information about this enzymopathy.

Yes, women can have G6PD deficiency. The condition is inherited in an X-linked recessive pattern, which means that females need to inherit two copies of the defective gene, one from each parent, to have the full-blown deficiency.
