He is way ahead of me. When I first gave blood, they told me I was a universal donor, because I was O-neg and a further test of my blood certified it could be given to babies in intensive care. Over the decades I gave four times a year for eventually 152 whole blood donations. I always thought that was quite an achievement, but it now gets put into perspective.
Due to mobilization to UK in 1996, Iām still banned from donating as Mad Cow suspect.
You’re still a hero to me, RM.
You’ve probably never been exposed to CMV so if you’re a regular donor which is 10% of the population, you’re CMV free blood is 10% of the people who do donate regularly.
Your effort was quite an achievement. Don’t sell yourself short.
Plasma can be donated far more than whole blood.
Good on you, RM.šš
