#plasma donation

[leetaylatuparitaulus]

I've been doing Plasma donation for about a year now, and I usually try to go twice a week. The day before yesterday, I was donating as per usual, but when the technician took out the needle, she was so focused on replacing the supplies that she forgot to put the gauze pad on my arm- And I was very much bleeding for a second there before she put ther finger over my arm and got gauze, we cleaned up the extra and there were no stains... But the funny thing is, I always bring my plushie of Perpetua to squeeze, and he was in my lap, looking on like the tiny bloodsucker he is... So I knew I absolutely had to draw what was in my mind's eye.

g'day! this is a blog for encouraging the donation of blood, plasma, and platelets. its mod is an australian plasma donor and aspiring phlebotomist (not officially associated with Australian Red Cross Lifeblood beyond being a donor(... yet?)) who uses they/it pronouns.

if you're ineligible to donate blood/plasma/platelets yourself, encouraging others to donate in your stead is awesome! you can still save lives!

see our navigation page for more information on our hashtags, mascot, rewards program, blood donation more generally, and an FAQ!

I will tag for content warnings/organisation on request, primarily for images.

Babe, wake up. New recession indicator just dropped.

Anybody else getting an increase in ads for plasma donation? I'm seeing them on almost every site. Make a quick $300 with just a little bit of plasma.

I'm not job searching right now. I have steady (ish) income. But so many of my YouTube and Google ads right now are for plasma donation.

Just a thought.

With WIC and SNAP paused until further notice, plasma donation is a good way to earn money. Of course this only applies to those who are healthy enough to donate. Unlike blood donation, plasma donation offers compensation for donation and for referrals.

Plasma has many life-saving uses. Such as blood transfusions needed for burn victims, trauma patients and patients in shock. It’s used to complete blood testing, autoimmune treatment, fight infections like rabies and tetanus. Diagnostic testing for liver disease, infectious diseases and some blood cancers. It’s used to treat many rare and chronic conditions.

A person can donate twice a week with forty-eight hours between donations. I know from experience that CSL Plasma offers $95 for your first donation, $45 after that and $50 per referral. BioLife and Octapharma offer more compensation. Once you decide on a donation center, you can only donate to that one. For example, you cannot donate to both CSL and BioLife.

Plasma donation centers:

Octapharma

CSL

BioLife

Grifols

Parachute

Can we talk about how the US has an entire market around harvesting our citizen's plasma for the "Global" market (Europe, Australia, and Canada primarily)

Currently unemployed and have been thinking about going to my local plasma "donation" center to make up some of the deficit. But I just wanted to look into the backend a bit more because I had a negative experience the last time I went a couple years ago. Capitalism has no boundaries in this country and harvesting poor people for their blood is seen as normal here.
