Gangrene is a disease caused by inadequate blood flow that causes tissue death, and is more common in diabetics and smokers, especially in the lower extremities. Head lice are spread through direct contact or sharing items and cause itching and bumps. Diabetes occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells ignore insulin, and there are two main types: type 1 requires lifelong insulin injections, while type 2 is more common and often related to obesity. Sickle cell anemia is a genetic blood disorder where red blood cells form into an abnormal sickle shape.

• Too much blood – sugar ( glucose).

the families in which red blood cells are formed in an
abnormal sickle or crescent shape. Red blood cells
carry oxygen to the body and are normally shaped
like a disc.
