Stress levels are at a record high in the US – and it shows.
In a recent study by Oregon State University, researchers found caffeine in 100 percent of blood samples that were destined for blood transfusions, and traces of Xanax, an anti-anxiety medication, in 72 percent.
The team studied 18 batches of pure human blood serum that had been donated to blood banks, but were passed to biomedical suppliers as they neared their expiration date. Here
Many samples contained traces of cough medicine. More
According to the Red Cross, only about 38% of us are eligible to give blood, while only 3% ever do. Here
I used to give blood regularly and was a certified CMV negative donor for pediatrics. Then I contracted Lyme disease and babesia from a tick bite. I stopped donating right away. Even though that doesn’t prevent me from donating I would never want to risk even the slightest possibility of that being transferred to someone else.
This study being done in Oregon, I am surprised 100% of the blood sampled didn’t contain THC.
Being the liberal state of Oregon I am quite surprised the percentage of caffeine and xanax isn’t much higher knowing that liberals never give away anything that is important to them which leaves the non-liberals that are subjected to liberal assholerism to do the blood donating.
M D Anderson cancer center hospital will only use
blood they draw out of someones arm at their
blood center.They don’t draw it,then they ain’t
using it.If there is ANYTHING in your blood they
will reject it.I went twice when my wife was being
treated there.Would cost a small fortune to have
blood work done like that and I got it for free.
They even give you a full report.
Hold on there! Caffeine is a drug? Holy crap! Call the Mayo clinic and tell them I’m in the car and can’t talk because I have a cup of coffee in my right hand. ☕
Am I even allowed to drive on caffeine?
And what the hell is Xanax?
Get in a car wreck anywhere in Africa and
pass out.You wake up in the hospital and see
an IV with whole human blood drip drip drip into
your body.You scream and rip the needle out of
your arm…,but it is too late,you all ready took
half a bag.Now roll them bonz Baby cause you now
got a 50/50 that you have AIDS and God knows
what else in your body… FOREVER!
Just remember Xanandnazx,Prosac,Zoloft
all pass from you to the sewer system and
then the critters in the rivers and oceans
get a taste…Can’t imagine what could go wrong.
CAFFEINE, THE GATEWAY DRUG!
Oh the humanity!
Since they didn’t report any illegal street drugs does that mean Oregon doesn’t accept blood from public colleges or elected democrats?
I can’t give blood because my wife has had sex with an IV drug user
In my state, people are paid to donate. So they lie on the questionnaire and get the money.
I donate blood relatively regularly…… that stated, I am sure mine is full of caffeine and alcohol….
“The first stage in the corruption of morals is the banishment of truth …”
Michel de Montaigne
I used to give blood until Red Cross changed the rules, “if you have lived in Europe for six consecutive months since 1980…..” something something something about CJD (Cruezfeld Jacobs Disease), the human variant of Mad Cow or Wasting Disease (deer).
I keep asking, has anyone done any research into finding out if I even HAVE this CJD? So far (cricket……cricket……cricket……..)
Imagine the bums and junkies in OR who sell their blood?
They might find some pretty decent Gin in my donation…
Could be lots worse. Big Pharma killed my younger brother with HIV positive clotting factor.
Him and many many other hemophiliacs.
Been real lucky with over a dozen surgeries and never needed a transfusion. Another scheduled in a couple of weeks. Donate your own for use by you before procedures if you can…

You’re welcome. It’s just our 21st century update of “Death…by bufu!”
I’m O negative, CMV negative. I was a regular donor for many years, but I was advised to stop due to scar tissue on my vein.
I’m diabetic so my blood isn’t good enough for them. But in some places, if you’re a high risk homosexual or a hooker, you’re A-OK!
My blood probably smells like French Roast coffee and moonshine.
Would you rather die, or get Michelle obama’s blood?
Thought so.
did that blood come from congress?
I donate blood every 120 days (double reds; have to wait that long & have to have a high iron count) & I have a cup (or more) of coffee before going … along w/ a decent breakfast & additional bottles of water before I go … it is actually encouraged … keeps your blood cell count up & keeps you hydrated so your veins are visible & don’t collapse
never had a problem yet … knock on wood
I would donate blood, but it was all replaced with formaldehyde 74 years ago and Eleanor says Teddy Kennedy siphoned that out ten years ago.
I donate alcohol from my arm sometimes there is blood in it

“-The only way to confirm a diagnosis of CJD is to examine the brain tissue by carrying out a brain biopsy or, more commonly, after death in a post-mortem examination of the brain.”

So either you let them pluck a piece of your brain tissue out or wait til you’re dead and find out. 🤨
I used to donate fairly regularly. Then I got Lymphoma, that permanently disqualifies me from being a blood or organ donor. During the course of my cancer treatmen, I got at least 25 whole blood transfusions and around 12 or 15 platelet transfusions. I then spent the next 2 years after my treatment getting hepatitis and HIV tests.
At least now I know why I always felt better after getting a blood transfusion.
My sister was diagnosed of Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (CJD) in early last year , our doctor told us there is no permanent cure for the CJD condition, she was given medications to slow down the progress of the disease, at the initial stage it was not so bad till it progressed to the end stage were she had difficulties going about her daily functions as she constantly had difficulty speaking,mental confusion,blurred vision include, we were all totally devastated not until my daughter’s co-worker told us about a herbal formula from totalcureherbsfoundation .com which has the right herbal formula for my sister Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease , when I contact this herbal foundation through their email totalcureherbalfoundation@ gmail. com I wasn’t certain the herbal treatment will get rid of herbal disease not until she complete the treatment as instructed, she will be resuming her work next month because this herbal cure seriously reverse her condition which we never expected ,im referring this to anybody at there suffering from this condition and they have assurance about this treatments
