At that rate of blood donation, you should come down with anemia, overactive marrow and repeated infections.

RED CROSS QUESTION: Why do I have to wait 56 days before donating again? Since blood contains iron (which is essential for making new red blood cells), donating blood more often than every 56 days causes the body to lose iron faster than it can be made up from iron-containing foods in our diet. As a result the donor could develop iron deficiency anemia, causing him/her to feel weak and tired. ...............EVEN 8 WEEKS IS TOO SHORT A TIME.....BETTER TO WAIT 3 MONTHS OR MORE.
