Who here gives blood?
I went today to give my usual pint of the red stuff (I'm up to 20 now and only 24 years old!!) and got talking to one of the nurses, apparently 97% of the population can give blood but only 3 to 5% do.
I was just wondering how many of the people on here have given blood/still do give blood.

They make you wait a year after a tattoo before you can donate and I've never gone a year without getting a little ink done.

so I'm in the 95-97% that doesn't donate

If your life was on the line though, I'd donate any bodily fluids I had.

Is it true they wont let you donate if you don't know the history of your sexual partners? They told me that in high school.

I've tried a few times but I pass out everytime before they can get enough. I have no fear of needles or anything so I don't know what's going on.

I really like giving blood.
I will continue to give blood in the future.

Yeah, I give blood. I'll admit, it's usually when it's convenient though...like when they come to my work. I've given plasma (technically sold) before as well. Now that's not something you want to do if you're afraid of needles. Needles don't bother me, but that thing was a 1/4 inch in diameter...it was insanely big.

I am frequently under the needle (tattoos) and I have a medical marijuana license, otherwise I would give as often as I could

I was born in Spain in the 80s and my mom ate English beef while I was in the womb. I'm told I'm not allowed to donate, though I'd like to.

Giving is nice. But I don't give, I sell mine. I hate it when they call it donating, a donation is not for personal gain, I am greedily selling my plasma.

Due to my service overseas I am not eligible to donate blood. I'd love to do it since I know how helpful it can be, but I guess my stuff isn't good enough for em lol
