Blood donation in France

Hi Fred,
Thanks for the research and the reply. A shame about the Mad Cow bit. Having been vegetarian since 1970 I'd assume my chances of being un boeuf fou were zero, but I know better than to argue with French paperwork. Asking in the pharmacy is a good idea, although in Adriers it invariably leads to a half hour chat about philosophy. With coffee if you're lucky!

Yes it's a shame especially for someone who has been vegetarian, I bet there are a lot of Brit's in the same boat that would like to give. You would have thought it can't be that difficult to test those who want to give, but like you say it's down on paper so that's it.
