Do you donate blood?

Everytime i think of donating blood the image just freaks me out sends shivers down my spine...

 

I tried when I first turned seventeen, and was rejected. Apparently, since I lived in Germany from brith until I was two, I am at risk for mad cow disease. Apparently, there was an epidemic around the time of my birth (1987), so, even though I wasn't old enough to eat meat when we left, and have never experienced symptoms, I could have mad cow disease. Because of this, I am never allowed to donate to the American Red Cross.


Because of that, I hate the American Red Cross.
