Actually 9 reasons, and one of the 9 is allowed to go free and just given a gentle recommendation to verify it :P But a fun article for anyone on the fence about whether to donate or not, obviously slanted towards “yes, donate.”

My first experience with it was having a huge pain in my arm every time I move it from the vertical position, and this lasted for like 2-3 days, plus the pain I felt in my finger that was tested for blood eligibility every time it touched something, which lasted for a couple of days as well.
Wasn’t a fun experience, not sure if I’ll do it again :-/
So there definitely aren’t only 10 reasons you might not donate
“huge” compared to the act. Wasn’t that huge, but muscle aches basically
But in my finger it definitely felt like someone was planting something in my finger every time I put a bit of pressure on it. Annoying to temporarily lose the ability to use a finger because I donated :(
