I used to give blood religously, started in high school and continued through my time in the Navy in the UK. I tried to give blood in 2000 and was denied because I had been stationed in England for more than 6 months, mad cow scare. Now because I deployed and recieved the anthrax no one will touch my blood so even if they revoke the mad cow restriction I am barred from ever donating my O-, sad really.
