I've got issues with the Red Cross and their blood collection practices.

My issue is that they stopped taking my blood several years ago when they changed their policy to exclude those who have lived in Western Europe for a few months or longer. Europe!?

This is because of mad cow disease. Then mad cow disease was found in the US food supply. Did they ban US donations? Nope. Of course not.

I used to donate several times a year. Oh well. Their loss.
