That's a bit of a haul all by my lonesome - I'll see if I can't talk some other folk into donating life with me.

Can I get a shirt instead of a sticker?

Dave MP · May 27th, 2011, 07:09 AM

I believe the Red Cross is giving free shirts (not positive).

Yeah, apparently the FDA is taking a more drastic approach than either the CDC, the WHO or any other health agency.

Looks like I'm out then...

QuebecoisWolf · May 30th, 2011, 10:16 AM

The other two big disqualifiers are:

No aspirin for 48 hours before donating
No new tattoos or piercings for 1 year prior to donation

Such a shame that I got that belly button piercing last week... nah, it's because I'm a platelets donor and the FDA won't let me donate if I lose too many red cells.

You can still donate blood while you are a platelet donor. I am and I do.

If you are a platelet donor, you can still make regular whole blood or double red cell donations. Both gifts are vitally important to patients with life threatening diseases.

Yes, you can, but I've run into problems before after mixing and matching donations. The way I view it is that I usually give 3-6 pints of platelets for every unit of whole blood.
