    Yes, every 12 weeks, which is the minimum gap between donating in the UK. I always feel fine, usually I sleep for a longer period so I plan accordling and hace a restful day.

    It’s the least I can do.

      Yeah same in Australia for me. Fwiw it’s also a way to rid yourself of some of the forever chemicals lurking in your body, eg pfas. They worked it out testing firefighters* blood and the regular blood donors had less of the chemicals in their system.

      *firefighters get excess exposure to the chemicals as they’re common in firefighting foam.
