I donated blood for the first time ever today. Not a bad experience at all. The worst part was the waiting. No woozieness, light headedness or other symtoms that I’ve heard about. I just got in my car and drove away.
I figured I could use all the good karma I can get. Plus donating blood reduces the risk of heart attack in middle aged men. And depletes excessive Iron stores, which I’m sure I have since I eat red meat every chance I get. I recommend it to anyone, you’ll at least have a supply if you ever get seriously injured and need blood.
