Don't forget to stop by your hospital or your local Red Cross & donate
some blood folks.

What the time limit between donating and flying? I heard 24 hours, does
that sound right?

I'm not aware of any regulatory requirement. But I'd agree it makes sense
to wait at least 24 hours before flying after giving blood.

I don't know either, but I know that they make me wait six weeks in
between each donation.

Only six?
Mine is every other month.
I do "double-reds", that is once every four months.

Yeah, INNOVA hospital is where my wife and I donate regularly. Every
six weeks is their requirement. We do it when we feel like it, maybe
five six times a year.

I used to do networking for Red Cross. I wouldn't give them a dime. I
will donate blood and volunteer my time though, but I will not trust
them with my money. Same goes for the Salvation Army. The United Way,
I haven't heard anything bad (lately).
