Since I am afraid of needles, can I donate menstrual blood to the carter blood drive?

Answer:
No.

It is not healthy blood that is the same type that is needed. Menstral blood is blood that had been stored in the body for the develpoment of pregnancy and is disgarged when the body has determined that it is no longer needed. This is in a sense, 'waste blood'.

Besides, there would be not sanitary way to collect this even if it were usable.

---

That would be a big fat NO

---

How nasty can you get. Why do you want to be so nasty???

---

That sounds alittle gross any how I highly doubt it.

---

I think i just puked a little bit.

---

Ummm..No.

---

Thats just yuckie.

---

Get a life!!!

---

Of course not. It's NOT the same thing, and that is pretty sick. If you are afraid of needles, don't donate. If it's really important to you to donate, get over your fear. It's just a little prick in the arm.

---

Giving blood is easy to do. The needle pain onl lasts a few seconds and afte that there is none. No ou can't donate menstral blood, anyway how would you collect it?

---

No I don't believe you can do that. By the way how would you collect this blood...?

---

ha ha ha that's disgusting, and no you can't. That is dirty blood it has your unfertilized egg and the wall of your inner monthly lining.

---

Think of this question after you or a family member gets in a car accident and needs blood. Won't be so hilarious to you then will it? Sheesh.

---

Menstrual blood is old blood, once blood is out of the body, and not in a sterile environment it is kinda useless.

---

sure, and then we you need blood they can transfuse it back into your blood stream.

yuk

the blood is the lining of your uterus and its dead old blood

---

This would be a big fat NO seeing that our menstrual blood comes out in a different way. It also can carry a smell to it since it's old blood that comes out of our body. This would be pretty nasty to do.

---

No it's contaminated!

---

that is disgusting and you are to, just asking that question common since would tell you no.

---

I don't think you can do that, honey. It's very sweet that you want to help in any way you can, but think of it like this: If your own body is releasing that blood and it's filled with old uterus lining and other things, why would they put that in someone else's body? Giving blood is not that bad, just close your eyes, and turn your head, and before you know it, you'll be done! Good luck!

I have nipples Greg, can you milk me?

---

I think everyone answered quite well (and quite funny). thats just a sick sick question. why why why why

---

this chick is crazy ... check out her other questions! LOSER!

---

No.
it is not the same blood.
dont donate.
cuz ur weird

---

I just thew up in my mouth.thats gross. Seek help...now...right now

---

Of course NOT! your menstrual blood has been clotted once and then degraded so you see it as fresh blood, that is why you never see your menstrual blood clot again. this blood is just a little similar to the blood inside your body and vessels.

---

Oh wow that's disgusting. No! Troll!
