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..

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 :lol:

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.

Enter Your Samebox Message:

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).
