Answers:
My school had a blood drive in March!. They CAN reject you (I almost got rejected) if there is not enough iron in your blood!. They will first have you fill out something online, which will determine partially if you are eligable, mostly questions along the lines of 'do you have AIDS or HIV' and 'Have you been to Africa in the past year!?'!. Then they will prick your finger to test the iron in your blood!. If you don't have enough, they won't let you donate!. There is a list of foods you can eat in the morning to increase this!. I had to be tested twice, because the first time I failed the iron test!. They are required to retest you, and the second time, I barely passed!. I also completely ignored the list of foods to eat, so i can only blame myself!. Just make sure you eat a good breakfast in the morning, and you should do fine! By the way, it's a great thing that your donating!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Going and trying to help is better than not going at all!. Save a life, you will feel better for doing it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
