Can the serpentine belt smell bad if there is something wrong with it?
If the smell is like burning or heated rubber, then it could mean the belt is rubbing against one of the pulleys that it's supposed to be powering. That probably means that particular item isn't getting powered. For example, if your alternator seizes up, your battery won't charge, and the fact that it's stuck could cause the belt to heat up near it, causing the bad smell. If that's the case, then the belt may be wearing slick, in which case it'll need to be replaced as well.

Is sickle cell Anaemia spreading?
Sickle cell anemia is not a contagious disease, so it cannot spread from person to person. Instead, it is a genetic disorder caused by inheriting specific mutations in the hemoglobin gene from both parents. The prevalence of sickle cell anemia is higher in certain regions, particularly in Africa, the Mediterranean, and parts of India, due to historical resistance to malaria in carriers of the sickle cell trait. Efforts to manage and treat the condition focus on genetic counseling and public health initiatives rather than containment of spread.
