What does it means if your white blood cells are higher than your red blood cells?

Stress: The two counts are generally independent of each other but a high white count indicates some type of stressor to the body such as infection, cancer, or inflammation.

Very unlikely: Red cell counts are in the millions and white cell counts are in thousands. It is improbable that your white cell count is higher than red cell count.
