Does anyone know if you can donate blood if you are anemic? Will they take it?
I don't think so.
"The hemoglobin test measures the amount of a protein called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is found in your red blood cells and is responsible for carrying oxygen to the tissues throughout your body. The American Red Cross staff routinely checks your hemoglobin before each donation. To safely donate, it must be above the minimum value required for blood donation, which is 12.5 g/dL. Effective May 2016, male donors will be required to have a minimum hemoglobin level of 13.0 g/dL."
