You don't for blood here. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] gentooer@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago I think blood is 6 weeks, but it's been a while since I donated. permalink fedilink source parent [–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) No. "Donating" that often is illegal in civilization because it has proven and sometimes severe negative benefits over a long period. Not even accounting for the risk of death from embolism for $50.
