I'm assuming this is in the US? I'm curious why it's 2 months there but 3 or 4 (men/women) in the UK.

- delecti 9mo agoMore vampires further north, so most people have less extra blood? But more seriously, it seems like 2 months is enough for most people, but not everyone. So it just comes down to whether you want to turn some people away at donation time because their iron is too low, or make everyone wait a bit longer between regular donations.
- RajT88 8mo agoI don't donate whole blood too often (they usually want me for platelets every 2 weeks if they can get it). https://versiti.org/ways-to-give/about-blood-donation/blood-donation-faqs https://versiti.org/ways-to-give/about-blood-donation/blood-... 56 days or 8 weeks for whole blood. It doesn't say why.
