Your concerns about donating blood – answered Y "I’m worried that I may get AIDS from donating"All needles are sterile – used only once and then discarded – you are never exposed to anyone else’s blood. Y "I don’t have time"It only takes around 40 minutes to give someone else another chance at life – it is worth the effort. Y "I’m scared I may faint…I don’t like needles"The possibility of this happening is minimised by ensuring that you have a reasonable rest on the bed after donating, before moving to the refreshment area. Any pain or discomfort is normally momentary. Y "My blood group is type "O" positive – the most common blood group"The more common the blood group, the more people who need it.
There are about one billion Red Blood Cells in two to three drops of blood, and, for every 600 Red Blood Cells, there are about 40 Platelets and one white cell. Manufactured in the bone marrow, Red Blood Cells are continuously being produced and broken down. They live for approximately 120 days in the circulatory system and are eventually removed by the spleen. 1873-1880 US physicians transfused milk (from cows, goats and humans). 1884 Saline infusion replaces milk as a "blood substitute" due to the increased frequency of adverse reactions to milk. Plasma is 92% water, miscellaneous elements and 7% protein from which derivatives are made. Duelling is legal in Paraguay as long as both parties are registered blood donors. Human blood travels 60,000 miles per day on its journey through the arteries, arterioles and capillaries and back through the venules and veins. A female flea consumes 15 times its body weight in blood daily. Most tropical marine fish could survive in a tank full of human blood.
