at the plasma donation place, one of the screening questions is "have you had a condition with scab formation?" - like, a superficial cut, or a mosquito bite?

  • So the distinction between blood and plasma is colloquial to you?

    • Just don't be a dick

  • Yah but there is something deeply wrong happening here or perhaps you think it's great

  • Yeah I do this too and my pockets are smelly but it's great to empty my pockets at the end of the day and find pretty rocks and oddly configured screws

  • Is or perhaps was regulated in the u.s. who knows It's like moral confetti

    Need to clarify; blood donation is not plasma donation; I'm sure Canada has a million thousand qualified phlebotomists

  • Yes.

    We're all just blasted by nuance apparently

  • That would be a better and more helpful question. Again, I think they are backing that liability truck up to an anonymous loading dock in New Jersey

  • donating blood is NOT donating plasma.

    blood is probably more valuable, especially if you're near something crazy, like a war or natural disaster. blood is so valuable it's insane

    plasma, also super valuable, not so immediately helpful to people dying in a war zone

    i was literally just asking about mosquito bites what the fuck

    shit's crazy. there's an entire micro economy around plasma. whatever is going on in your life, don't pretend

  • Haemophilia

    yeah that would be bad. I have known people who relied on this as like a "checkup" on their own "risky" behavior.

    it's not like it's cool to rely on this as an HIV check, but it comes with a ton of unnecessary and inappropriate judgment

  • to correct myself

    Mosquito-borne diseases or mosquito-borne illnesses are diseases caused by bacteria, viruses or parasites transmitted by mosquitoes. Nearly 700 million people contract mosquito-borne illnesses each year, resulting in more than a million deaths.[1]

    Diseases transmitted by mosquitoes include malaria, dengue, West Nile virus, chikungunya, yellow fever,[2] filariasis, tularemia, dirofilariasis, Japanese encephalitis, Saint Louis encephalitis, Western equine encephalitis, Eastern equine encephalitis,[3] Venezuelan equine encephalitis, Ross River fever, Barmah Forest fever, La Crosse encephalitis, and Zika fever,[3] as well as newly detected Keystone virus and Rift Valley fever. A preprint by Australian research group argues that Mycobacterium ulcerans, the causative pathogen of Buruli ulcer is also transmitted by mosquitoes.[4]

  • yeah but you're not hearing my question. literally no one is going to say sorry, can't donate, got a mosquito bite

    edit i don't live somewhere that mosquitos are known for transmitting illness, like zika, malaria, whatever else

  • the 12-hour clock used in the u.s. has fucked me and my head many times. i set my alarm to 8'o'clock, woke at 8 p.m., saw the sun in the horizon, and set off for class. by the time i got to class it was almost dark and i thought maybe the real shit had dialed in and the sun wasn't ever coming back.
