Subconsciouses ask the darnedest things...
I was making dinner as a voice in my mind suddenly asked: "Is hematochromatic even a real word?" I checked with Google at the first opportunity, and found that no it wasn't. Hemochromatic was, however, and referred to the disease haemochromatosis, the most common iron overload illness, a gene for which is carried by one in ten Northern Europeans. Which means I probably know some people who either have it or will develop it later. (It is diagnosed at earliest in the 40es in men and 50es in women, causing diabetes and liver disease among other symptoms.)
I would have remembered if any known relative had it, so it's not a concern of mine. The thing that from time to time concerns me is that my subconscious seems to know a lot more than I.
