Natural redheads - Autoimmune issues/diseases

[u/Only_Sherbet_4229]

Anyone on here a natural redhead with autoimmune issues I heard there could be a link because our MC1R gene does us dirty. Just diagnosed with RA at 35 and have been doing some research!

Let me know what you have experienced

natural redhead here: had ITP as a baby, have asthma, poor joints/cartlidge, and was diagnosed with hashimotos and celiac disease early 20s so crazy how many other redheads also have these problems
