Is the american red cross the only blood donor agency?!


Question: Is the american red cross the only blood donor agency.?
Answers:
In America, it's illegal to accept blood donated by a person that was in the UK for more than six months (total) between 1980 and 1996. So if you spent just eleven days in the UK during each of those seventeen years, then you are not allowed to donate blood anywhere in the U.S.

If you spent less than six months altogether in the UK, then some blood agencies may allow you to donate. Not all agencies have exactly the same rules as the Red Cross, although all of them must comply with the FDA's minimum standards.

A more interesting question is why you're so determined to donate your blood. There are other, equally important ways to help.Health Question & Answer

No, your local health department can also point you in the right direction for other resources. Some agencies will even compensate you for "donating" blood.
