What can happen when your blood gets too thick?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Clog vessels: Way too thick, like with sickle cell disease, some cancer states or severe dehydration, can increase viscosity of blood so much that it clogs up smaller vessels--this stops blood flow beyond--can cause tissue to die, like a heart attack or stroke.
