There is a whole group of traits that go along with the red hair. As my friend puts it, "All redheads came from the same planet." It is true that often redheads DO resemble each other more than their parents. The transparent skin, the eyelids, etc.

One of the more interesting traits I recently learned about is that redheads need more anesthetic and pain relief (for surgeries, dental work, etc.) than non-redheads! Who would have known? No wonder it took my then-6-yr-old so long to come out of his anesthesia after an MRI.

I've also read we are prone to bleed more during any surgeries. A couple of surgeon that I have worked with have confirmed this with me.
