Fellas are people who need plasma products vampires? Is that all the vampires need? Are vampires that drink whole blood more or less bougie?

Ok on a more serious note, I've heard the profit margin made between the plasma donated and the pittance given is insane , is it true, if anyone happens to know, that the plasma center makes around $1800 per 880 ML of plasma?

Different blood products have different shelf lives, plasma's a relatively long lasting one.

Edit: this is important for the US's blood industry because a lot of that is then sold off to other countries.

I donated blood a few times a year for a while until they asked me to do a plasma donation, then started calling me every week until I told them to take me off the list.

Yeah. Me too it's good in a pinch but it's still super dystopian to have to do it to just barely survive still
