Because are you going to be eating fava beans 24 hours a day? No, I hope not. 00:27 So it’s only after exposure to that free radical is when you have the hemolytic anemia, is that clear? So you want to be very careful. 00:35 Know as to how to dissect certain terms. 00:40 Episodic is huge. 00:42 So when you have episodic hemolytic anemia, you’re going to have pallor, fatigue and jaundice, infection, oxidized drugs. 00:47 Take a look at these, antimalarials, sulfonamides, nitrofurans, and fava beans. 00:54 What is this? Population: Mediterranean.
