I donated plasma and got really sick because I had a cold and it just made it worst…so keep this in mind before you go donate…also I want to add that getting folks involved with donating plasma at a young age really helps ‘train’ folks to donate blood for free when they are older…there is no substitute for human blood and so it is something that everyone must contribute.
Lots of information and a directory of all the plasma centers in the US here: http://bloodbanker.com
