Hemoglobin isn't magnetically attractive, it's repulsive. Also I don't think the tiny amounts of iron would amount to a large enough attraction to be ripped out of the human body. MRI scans use 30'000 gauss of magnetism while the Earth's magnetic field strength is only 0.5, and more surprisingly Jupiter is only 4.3 gauss at its equator. Polyphemus is smaller than Jupiter so it probably has 3.5 - 4 gauss and Pandora should at max 100 gauss, far lower than 30'000, and no patient has suffered from iron being ripped out of their bodies at 30'000 gauss.
