Reply To: Why I'm never giving blood again. By popa.

Also, the assertions that blood donation is harmless–are imbecile.

Besides for the regular risk and side effects, (I almost fainted after I donated, and got a whole sheet about possible side effects), there is a very real risk that if you get in an accident within the next few days or weeks you could die of blood loss before help arrives because of the pint you already lost.

Health will confirm for us.
