Okay, so here's the scoop:
There are 2 blood plasma donations, different companies, that are right next to my house. Each will pay $50 per donation, but will only let you do a donation every 2 days, and only 2 donations per week.

My plan is to alternate between the 2 centers, and double my money. This will in 3 weeks give me $600, enough to cover my rent, electric, water, and gas.

I have a few questions though.
1. How much of a danger to my health is this?
2. How do I minimize my risk of getting caught? (and getting banned from either one or both places)
3. Has anyone else done something similar to this?

>> No.324780

>>324773
You will probably get caught the first time. They only let you do a donation every 2 days because it takes 2 days to fully regenerate the plasma in your blood. When they hook you up to take the plasma after a day they wont get that much and wont pay you.

>> No.324786

They apply UV dye (different colors for different clinics) to one of your fingers to ensure that you're not doing that.

In any case if you tried that your veins would be utterly destroyed from scar tissue within 3 weeks.

>How much of a danger to my health is this?

I assume that this is just a small amount of plasma. I donate a shitload of plasma at a local clinic, and they ban me for like nine months. I feel like shit for weeks afterwards. If you tried to do it on a daily basis for weeks on end, bad things would happen.

I'm willing to bet plasma regeneration rate is proportional to the amount of plasma you have, so while it may take 2 days to regenerate after a withdrawal of 1x units of plasma, it could take more than 4 days to regenerate after a withdrawal of 2x units. This could lead to a dangerous cascade effect that drains way more plasma than you can regenerate and leave you seriously fucked up.

>>324825

>does your shit job pay $100/hr?

My job doesn't require me to bleed out for 2,200 hours every year. Besides, you said yourself you could only do this for a few hours a week, tops.

>> No.324835

>>324773

I'm no doctor but I've donated blood a handful of times. The biggest risk I can think of is:

1. Your blood won't be able to clot as well as it would normally.
2. Your veins could collapse from prolonged and frequent penetration.

I wouldn't do it that frequently, your body will need time to regenerate.

Are you 16? This board isn't for shitheads like you who think donating blood is a way for "fast cash". You do it maybe once a month as a free $50 bonus. You WILL die if you constantly do this practically every other day.

This wont even work since they UV dye your fingers (you cant even get that shit removed by force, it's on there like a blood stain). They also can tell by the fucking holes and bruises that constantly sticking a needle in your arm will cause.

It wont work
You will die if you somehow manage to get it to work
You will seriously fucking die if you manage to do this.

...on second thought, go for it, we are all just internet nobodies who's word means nothing here. Just go for it pal, donate blood every other day, you'll save a lot of lives ;^)

I wouldn't reccomend messing around with your plasma levels.

Most of your fat soluble vitamins move through plasma (A,D,E,K)

These vitamins are crucial to your survival.
Plasma is also used in your bodys immunity, so i assume you would have some problems with infections.

I would some more research before taking action.

There's a reason they don't allow you to keep donating, and it's not because they're trying to keep you from getting more money.
