I never thought my hint would veer off to start its own little thread.
My husband used to donate quite a bit, even though he has a terror of needles. He's O neg. The Red Cross wouldn't let him donate after I tested positive for hepatitis C, and he never started again when the test turned out to be wrong. I think they took his word for the positive test, but they wanted "a note from the doctor" to verify the false positive.
I don't think they accept people like me who have medically unexplained diseases (chronic fatigue syndrome).
When I was nursing I froze my breast milk and donated it.
I.
