Everyone knows that a easy way to stay healthy and clean is by washing your hands. Washing your hands can easily prevent sickness. People living with SCD are very much encouraged to wash their hands. Because they have SCD their immune system is weak which causes them to be very susceptible to disease and even hydration. SCD can damage the organs and even enlarge the spleen. SCD can also double your risk of having a stroke. Children as young as 8 living with SCD are at risk of having a stroke.
Children with SCD should not handle uncooked meat or unwashed vegetables. Even unpasteurized milk and cheeses's can be harmful to someone with SCD. Just because people living with SCD have a lot of obstacles in front of them doesn't mean they can't live a normal life. They just have to take extra precaution such as eating the correct meals and taking the proper medicine. SCD is not a death sentence it just makes a person living with it to be more careful and aware of the meaning of life.
