usable symptoms are "fatigue" and "pale skin," which yield 20 results. However, with the hunch that this is anemia, clicking on that yields a list of various types of anemia,
including iron-deficiency anemia, which is described as a type of anemia that results because of a "lack of the mineral iron in the body" (What causes anemia?, 2009). The symptoms
