I do this as much as I can now that I’ve been cleared.. The first time I donated I was 17 and weighed 113 lb (2 under the weight cut off).. and I didnt have breakfast.. and I had a sezure the last 10 seconds of donating… scared the school principal, and everyone in the room… I got sent home early that day.. hehe I am a certifited phlebotomist now (draw blood) and now that I have been back in the USA for 2 years and am healthy I am aloud to donate.. (they have dumb rules for traveling to africa, and europe, and south america..) but I have been donating regulary now. I sugust you help those who need the blood. If you were in a bad accadent and needed blood you’d be thankful that there was a suply.
