another one is, have you had allergies since you last donated?

i know some people just say to lie for every question. technically they screen every donation, but it’s not supposedly a reliable test for something like HIV.

i’m pretty sure i’m just allergic to reality. sometimes just constant sneezing, even when i’m on an antihistamine.

obviously best to just be aware of one’s behavior and risk factors. do they do this just avoid liability?

    …I am aware blood is not plasma. Canadian Blood Services oversees the donation of both since they are both blood products. I am using the term colloquially to help you understand my perspective since you are not Canadian.

    Since you apparently don’t understand that, bye.

        So here is the context:

        so all I know about it is that Canadian Blood Services would rather throw your blood out on the off-chance that you’re lying than actually send it for testing

        Yes, this is a colloquialism that I made purposely to illustrate my larger point. Again, if you can’t understand that, there is no point in further discussion. Bye. If you reply again I will block you.
