It's not healthy or unhealthy to donate blood. It's just that you might feel tired after donating it since your body has just lost some blood and needs to regenerate blood cells to get you back to normal.
QUOTE its good. but you never know if you get shot with an infected needle or not and get like hiv or something. No, I'm pretty sure that hasn't happened in many years ever since blood screening for HIV/other diseases began. Also, nurses and doctors never, ever reuse needles and they're supposed to take a new one out of its little box every time for each patient. |
