donating blood question...vegetarian ?
Hey

There's a Canadian Blood Services blood donation drive tomorrow.

I am a vegetarian. Would I be able to give blood? I am just worried about iron, zinc and b12 contents (ie with giving and with also having nothing left over)...which probably are pretty low.

Thanks.

Looks like they you can go to donate and they'll do a test for those things to clear you. So you can try and if you're not eligible they'll let you know.

Why would anyone want a vegetarian's blood?
