Re: Blood Donors
I tried to donate blood here a couple of years ago and was flatly turned away due to being British...they won´t take our blood due to the "risk" of CJD...

Not even from vegetarians! I´ve been vegetarian since 1977 and they still wouldn´t have my blood! http://www.donantesmalaga.org/prensa/prensa44.htm

It apparently doesn´t matter what you´ve eaten during that time, it´s the very fact of having lived there....

Re: Blood Donors
I was a regular blood donor in the UK, but no go here due to mad cow disease, shame.
