Relax buddy: Your body is designed to thrive even with a huge variety of food choices. You'll only make yourself sick eating palatable iron if you have hereditary hemochromatosis and if you visit your physician regularly and get lab work you'll have plenty of advance warning. You don't need an iron supplement as a man unless you're a blood donor, & would best avoid it, but you're fine for now.
