Can i afford to give blood

[enwar3]

So I want to give blood seeing as how the holiday season is the slowest time of year, yet the time of year where the most blood is needed. But I've been terribly sick for over a month with a sinus infection and other complications like a cold. I'm JUST starting to get better, and very very slowly at that. Should I consider giving blood in this situation? Or would it be bad for me?

You should not donate blood if you are or have very recently been sick.

Don't give blood if you're sick, ffs.

If the supply becomes desperately short, they will declare an emergency situation and try harder to get people to donate...No need in doing that while you're sick..

They'll ask you specifically about that, it's part of their screening process. No one wants your weak blood.
