It's fine if you don't know what blood type you are; since that probably means you're a first-time donor, you have to fill in some more info, and they'll type your blood and send you a donor card with the info on it  |

I also have very small veins, sometimes it takes 2 nurses just to find one, just make sure you drink plenty of water before, it will definitely help. |

Blood is a good thing, and your body is reproducing it all the time. So why not share it with people who need it? Like I said, your blood can save up to 3 people's lives .. and you'll definitely appreciate those who donate if God forbid you or a loved one need it one day. Completely your choice though! |

Yeah of course! They prick your finger before you donate, to check your iron and then you will get a donor card in the mail that has your blood type on it. |

I just dont like blood leaving my body. Like if I get cut or something sure, i'll just suck up some blood or what not. But giving someone else MY blood. Not happening. I have a wierd mentality on that. I just feel that if someone else has my blood, then they also have some tiny part of me which is NOT cool. My blood adds to my uniqueness.

Blood good thing, yes. Producing it all the time, yes. Share it, no.
Also, how do you know if im not a carrier for some super rare flesh eating disease?
