Yeah, there's a whole list of drugs that can disqualify you. Also the blood tests, once I tested low by 1 point for protein and I could not donate. They gave me a list of things to eat with protein, I just laughed at the dude and told him if my protein is too low its not because I'm not eating enough of it. We eat too much protein if anything.
It can be a good way to pick up a few extra bucks, but it is not a reliable way, besides the tests being out of tolerance, the machines can mess up. Once I never got the anticoagulant that goes in at the end. Sometimes they have to switch your arms, etc...
Praise God we haven’t had to do that since I was in school! They also pay you even if the draw messes up. The last time I donated, they had to stop my draw early. The filter had plugged with straight fat! They asked me what I’d eaten the day before(In-And-Out Burger), and then showed my filter to all of the other techs. I’ve since drastically changed my diet. I don’t want to stroke out. I’m 53 so it’s hopefully a little early for me to go to Heaven. I was 41 or 42 at the time. I still got paid the full amount which I believe was $30 or $35 at the time.
