[@megorra]

Wow. I gave blood yesterday, about the 23rd time for me, and I didn't realise there was so much involved. I only recently discovered my own blood is quite rare - Neo R1R1 - meaning it's primarily given to newborn babies and infants because of it does not harbour the Herpes Virus which can be very dangerous to small ones. As if that's not cool enough, I walk out of there knowing I'm saving lives for just an hour of my time every three months. Please give blood. It doesn't hurt. It's not scary. You are being a hero. And you'll feel very happy about what you are doing.

@@Lauren-vt2co are there any side effects Lauren?

[@Lauren-vt2co]

@@hopistry Hi, in my experience there were never unpleasant side effects, however, following donation you may feel a little lightheaded, weak, or nauseous as your body adjusts to losing blood. After donation, you typically sit down and have a drink or biscuit to make sure you feel well and can leave the site safely. It's advised to just take it easy and keep up with fluids following donation and this is generally enough to keep you in good health. It's perfectly normal and safe, and the body can replenish the blood with no problems. Hope this helps!

I donated blood for the first time two days ago, I'm 17 so only now could start I'm absolutely terrified of needles and was dreading it. They were so nice and patient. I barely felt the needle going in and the worse part was the tape XD. it took an entire 15 minutes for me as it just wasn't filling up very fast, that 15 minutes flew by. The nurses kept coming over and checking on me and there was music in the background just it wasn't like going into a hospital with the smell and the feeling (I think that's what stresses me out). I did feel woozy when I got lifted back up but that happens to me all the time. The nurses were so nice they just lowered me back down and put an ice pack on my forehead and kept talking to me. Eventually I was alright and I just had to eat some biscuits and a drink before I could go. I'm definitely going to donate for as long as it is possible for me. I think the youngest person there besides me donating was in their late 30s. I think more young people should do it, if I can spare a pint of my blood in order to help someone else I am going to carry on doing it and so should others

[@bhimawaskita2540]

Having O rhesus negative is a bless and a curse. In my country, any negative rhesus blood type is forbidden to donate their blood regularly. You can only donate when someone with your type needed. The bless is your blood can be used for any type of blood, the curse is when you need blood transfusion ,finding the same negative O is hard.

[@janbraedeleonmd3194]

She got the last two mixed up. Plasma is the one being used for immunocompromised patients because it contains the immunoglobulins; for patients who needs the coagulation factors to control bleeding; and also for patients who needs to improve their blood volume because of albumin. The platelet concentrate is for patients who has decreased platelet count and is given to prevent bleeding.

[@nazrulislam-ol8wt]

Life of the blood depends on what components you talking about. Because it gets separated as you can see on the video , if you talking about red blood cell then it can be used upto aprox 42 days , platelets have short life of 5 days only. And fresh frozen plasma can be used upto one year ( this component is not cellular therefore have long life ) and yes you can store your blood and use it. People do that for surgery when they store their blood prior to surgery and then they eat well and exercise to produce blood again and go for surgery ,with the extra blood of their own body .it's called autologous transfusion

They wouldn't just squirt your blood back in you because the blood now contains an anticoagulant that's in the bag you donate into. I've not had this confirmed but I highly doubt they will. There's also a difference in training for taking blood and putting it back in so the staff at the center might not be trained for that :)

I used to work at Filton ...the reason you don't see any gloves is the blood is in a contained system ..the ONLY time we had to wear gloves was if a blood pack burst or leaked( clean up) OR if you were taking samples to go to the testing dept etc rule of thumb if its in a contained in the pack no gloves if it comes out of the pack then gloves have to be worn!

I desperately want to donate but i have a thing with seeing blood being taken, can anyone describe thier process for me. If i have an idea of what it feels like i might make me more prepared. 🙏❤

[@SilverDomUK]

It all depends on your veins to be honest. It really doesn't hurt as much as you think it would, it's more like the feeling of a scratch for a couple of seconds. I think it depends on the size of your veins and your blood pressure as to how easily the needle goes in. Once it is in you can barely feel it. The best bit is after you have given, I get a warm fuzzy feeling that i could potentially be saving someones life! My advice would be to sign up online, book an appointment and go donate. The staff are always really nice, if you explain you are worried they will explain everything.

Good for you! I would urge you, after you are old enough, to donate often though, instead of once a year at a drive at school. The need is great and you will feel good about your donations -- talk up donations to your friends. The reason I'm so passionate about this is my brother needed blood after springing a leak in a large vein in his groin. He needed lots before they got him stable at the hospital and the blood bank had what he needed and the amount he needed to save his life. If not for the generosity of good people like you who cared enough to donate their blood to save the lives of strangers, my brother would have died that night.

[@Char10tti3]

Just thought, to me it's being called manufactured and processed because it's kinda already "made" in a person, but that's basically the raw ingredients to a finished donatable blood product. I guess it's also biased because meat I'd say is processed and manufactured for consumption, so it's just how that raw product and processed are viewed by me now as a result of the culture and my upbringing. I'd just listened to Wondery's Bad Batch on this faulty stem cell batch and they use the same phrasing, but I didn't take into consideration how they are processed as it wasn't really covered, more so what wasn't covered correctly by the companies and lab company
