Selling plasma – I need every possible information about it. Help me!

they usually do a prick-finger test to make sure your iron isn't low.
the closest place around me that pays is at least 45 min away and the gas wouldn't be worth it! strange..

hey I donated plasma today and am pumped...it was fun and got me $45!!!!

Found a plasma center near my school here:

Bloodbanker.com

Thanks goudah2424 i love that website!!

im thinking if i do this plasma donation and put that money towards high interest credit cards every single time.....i can really get out of this debt even faster......

I live in Whittier, California. Does anyone know of any place i can sell my plasma/blood near here?

Look for local places online, Chadadocia - do a Google search on "plasma donation center whittier", and that should bring up all in the area.

There are companies that will accept donors who are ill to donate plasma and do compensate. This plasma is used for diagnostic use so they have different rules about donations. Check out the site accessclinical.com

my blood pressure is too high for me to donate anything
i have donated many times in the past, never for money though..

i've been donating plasma in albuquerque NM but now i'm moving to Los Angeles CA and need the addresses of plasma donating centers there.

<span class="postbody">do not bother calling the Red Cross though, even though they are listed on the above website, they don't pay for donations!</span>

I know of one plasma center in LA- 1715 E Florence Ave, LA,CA 90001. Phone 323-586-0100. You might want to call to make an appt for your first visit.

Selling plasma must be the thing to do during these hard times...I called to make an initial appointment at Biolife and was told they are booking out 2 weeks in advance!! I am a little nervous about the process but I have donated blood plenty of times, not to mention being a bone marrow donor many years ago, so I think I will be okay!!

Hai...

I am wondering about your earning steps

you're looking to make some quick money ....?

You must few precautions should take before using yourself as an organic ATM

There is a chance for cross infection, hepatitis, HIV,

you are in risk for scarring your veins and depleting your iron levels if you donate too frequently.

ok

Arun....you need to learn something about plasma donations. You do not deplete your iron levels...your packed red blood cells are returned to you. And with todays technology there is literally no chance of cross contamination or other diseases.

Due to Quantum Theory alone, "literally no chance" of anything becomes impossible... let alone factoring for human error.

However, the process is all pre-sealed individually packaged health products administered by professionals who are adequately sterile and protected.

There are some infinitesimally small chances for cross-contamination which could be considered nearly negligible. I wouldn't be worried about it at all.

The things you should know are that, yes, it will scar. In addition, on a rare occasion someone new, or inattentive will poke you and have to move the needle or insert it into the other arm. On a very rare occasion, approximately once every couple of years if you go consistently, blood may be inserted outside of your vein into the soft tissue of the arm. This will cause pain, followed by about two weeks of discomfort and bruising. During which you will not be able to donate. In only one documented case which I found as I researched, has this lead to a more serious condition.

Overall, nothing to worry about. A few scars, minor discomfort, and making some money to save lives. To be honest, if there weren't some discomfort or time spent, they wouldn't pay you for it... most people would do it for free.

Hope that helps.

i agree, i do not see how you could be exposed to any sort of disease... i used to donate several times a year (for free.. the poster above me is correct, most people do donate for free, in fact there are not even places around me that even do pay! i know that red crosses do not pay and my blood bank does not neither).
