Comment on at the plasma donation place, one of the screening questions is "have you had a condition with scab formation?" - like, a superficial cut, or a mosquito bite?

a condition with scab formation?

Ask them if unsure but my guess is they mean conditions like Haemophilia.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haemophilia

Also don’t rely on their screening. I believe the test a performed on bundles of donations for efficiency and a bad donation may cause the others in that bundle to be discarded too.

Haemophilia

yeah that would be bad. I have known people who relied on this as like a “checkup” on their own “risky” behavior.

it’s not like it’s cool to rely on this as an HIV check, but it comes with a ton of unnecessary and inappropriate judgment
