What does too many red blood cells mean?

Answer 1

no. you body regulates what it does and doesnt need. when signals are sent through saying blood cells are dying or are damaged your body eliminates them and generates new daughter cells. but, your body can only produce so much per day that is why you can only donate blood every 3 days or else you would not be able to function or even die because of the blood loss from donating and not giving your body enough time to resupply the blood.

Red is not a problem, this simply means you can transport more oxygen around the body. A lot of doping in athletes does just this. You can also increase your red blood count by staying at high altitude.

White however is symptoms of infections. High count of white blood cells is normally used by medical personnel to check for infections.
