There are reports of iron overdosage in the United States under 6 years of age and this is one of the common death due to poisoning. The red blood cells have hemoglobin which is a protein carrying oxygen to the cells in the body. The body then needs iron to produce hemoglobin. If one does not have iron, the red blood cells will become pale and smaller thus they cannot carry oxygen enough in the body.

Slowing down or stopping an activity because you can't catch your breath is one sign of COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary dise

vredina [299]

COPD, or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, pretty much says it all. In COPD the Bronchioles (the pathways of air to the Aveoli), become inflamed and are occluded by mucus, because the Cilia which are responsible for pushing it out of the tract have been damaged. Because of the narrowing, the Aveoli attempt to increase the surface area so that more oxygen can be absorbed by the lungs, however this can lead to a problem as the dead space (space that is not the aveoli and can be absorbed) is then expanded as well, which leads to shortness of breath.
