Are Red heads different than other people, aside from the Red hair?

Question

I was recently told that for example, when a doctor prescribes medications to a Red Head that the Dr. takes that into consideration. Because Red Heads don't have the same effect as others do to alot of things? ...something having to do with the genetics? Is any of this true?

Answer 1

a lot of things are said about red heads... interestingly mostly about red head women... most of it is bullshit. there ARE a few differences on the genetic level though... redheads tend to have less melanin, the stuff that makes your skin tan from the sun, and negroes brown. from which follows that their skin is more sensitive to sunlight, burning more easily. they also have fewer hairs on their head. statistically blondes have the most hairs, followed by black and brown haired people... red heads have the least. so, if the medication has something to do with a skin complexion... yes, it makes a difference. in dosage, usually. apart from that...i don't think so.

Answer 2

there afre certain genetic traits that follow red head genes, because it is a small percentage and well documented scientists have a good idea of certain things that are more likely to affect redheads. Examples can be skin problems, red heads are not only more common for freckles for certain skin cancers and such. Redheads are also supposed to feel the heat more and be prone to sunstroke.

Answer 3

I heard that they were a bit more feisty than other color hair women, but i think that is just a farce. I think all women are created equally in some aspects. (with except those mean blonde jokes which sheds light to the not so bright moments)

:0)

Answer 4

Yes. My husband is a red head.

Answer 5

It seems logical that there may be some traits which are on the same chromosome as the genes for hair color. I am not sure what those are and doubt if anyone knows all of them.

Answer 6

I heard that red heads tend to be smarter, quick wit, and very onry in a very creative way. They tend to think fast and very impulsive.

Unlike most of us, the way that red heads think is that they are very creative that their way of thinking often thought of being onry because other people don't get use to their new creative way of thinking.

Genetically speaking, I don't know exactly how they are different from the rest of us. One thing I know for sure is that they tend to treat risks as their best friends.

In my opinion, they are a very interesting people to talk to. You can invite a red head for a cup of coffee and you will learn a whole lot about the world from their point of view in about half an hour if and only if you can make them sit down that long.

Answer 7

I think red heads are much more likely to have freckles also.

Answer 8

it could be. just like if you are of african decent you may have some form of sickle cell anemia. your family history can change a lot of the medications that you can or cannot take.

Answer 9

The differences are purely physical just as the color of ones eyes.

Answer 10

I am not a redhead, but no they are not any different than any one else
