Blood is iron rich, but not in a solid metal form how most people think. In each hemoglobin molecule in each blood cell there are only four iron atoms, and each one is separate from the other three and firmly bound to their respective heme molecules. There’s probably a chemical that can extract the iron out, but I don’t know what. Plus there’s the blood brain barrier, so if there’s blood cells next to your myelin sheaths then you have bigger problems to worry about.
Based on some research I just did the most common mechanisms of myelin damage or physical trauma, inflammation, and viral infections. To be fair it was pretty surface level, so other causes can’t be ruled out.
