  Do you donate blood to do this or…?

    I imagine they can’t because their blood is too ironic

      How ironic.

      But really tho, people with high iron are good for blood donation because a lot of people are low and they more readily pass the screening tests for donation.

        So yeah you can’t when your iron levels are too high but when it goes down to normal levels you can become a regular donator, which then helps keep the levels down.

        With my super iron blood I can then donate blood every 8 weeks instead of the normal 12. If I am remembering that right.
