Plasma isn't anywhere near the risk of blood as there's no cells in it for viruses to infect. In most states I don't think they let people with tattoos donate blood at all, but plasma is just fine.I don't know anything about donating plasma, but back in high school and college when I used to donate blood they always said it would be tested for STDs and drugs and the like. Do they not do the same with plasma? I can't imagine they would keep paying drug-addled homeless people repeatedly if that were the case? Or does it somehow not matter for plasma?
Or easily 50% of the people do sell plasma are absolute filth. While waiting to sell my plasma on monday there was some dude just doodling all over his jeans with a ballpoint pen, same dude who has flames tattooed on his head.There are a lot of restrictions to giving plasma. Can't have gotten a tattoo within a year, can't have visited Europe in the past 20 years, can't have had sex with a man whose had sex with another man since the 70's, and so forth.
