Well it could just be those pesky UN statistics... but I just went to the
Red Cross site to check on blood donation criteria and they don't want your
blood if you have spent more than 3 months total in the UK or Ireland since
1980 (or 6 months in the Rest of Europe), presumably due to CJD since it's
right after the other CJD high risk things.
I have 2.5 months of UK and one month of Rest of Euro on my odometer. Math
problem, does that make me ineligible or not? I honestly wasn't sure.

I was very careful not to get sick while I was there. Well sort of. I didn't
have any unprotected sex anyway.
