I've been looking at the reasons why the IBTS won't allow one to give blood:
[broken link removed]
I'm trying to quantify the number of ways I am disqualified.
- surgical procedure - 6 months
- visit to tropical area - 6 months
- visit to malarial area - 12 months
- lived in the UK between 1980 and 1996 - indefinite
So, four ways banned.
Does any posters actually qualify?
(No visits to America, Canada, Israel or Russia in the last 8 weeks; no visit to tropics in last six months; no visit to malarial area (e.g. north africa/SE Turkey/Asia) in last 12 months; no blood transfusions; no living in England etc. etc.).
Surely blood screening would be the way forward?
