I just got back from a nearby one; the lady there said I’m too old.

I was a donor at the home country and a donor in Taiwan until they told me no more, you’re European and you could have ‘mad cows’. So, now soon I might be too old?

I don’t know whether all the blood donation places in Taiwan have that rule, and who knows?–maybe I misunderstood somehow. Also, I’m considerably over 65. Maybe someone with better knowledge about these kinds of things than I (there should be quite a few of those folks) will come along and clarify/add more certainty.

Oh, I just noticed this, from the other thread:

Edited to add:

@tando

basically from 17 to 65.

over 65, you need to see a doctor once a year and get a permission. you may also need a health certificate. and maybe need to make an appointment during a period a doctor stays at the donation center.

there was/is an attempt to raise the age limit to 70, but idk how is the trial.

Thanks to @tando!
