I have low iron as well. And it is the weirdest things that we do lol. Like smell rubbing alcohol and gas. I used to but I don't now that I'm pregnant because I'm paranoid it would do something. But I do chew ice all day long and that is linked to low iron too. Very weird how our body compensates for things
