@Crissy@tech.lgbt For years, I could not donate blood: "For decades, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration banned blood donations from folks who had spent time in certain European countries during the 1980s and ‘90s, to prevent transmission of a deadly brain infection commonly known as “mad cow disease.” " "Last year (2022), the FDA lifted the final section of its “mad cow” ban after finding there had been no reported cases of the brain disease associated with time spent in the United Kingdom, France and Ireland." https://www.redcross.org/local/ohio/northern-ohio/about-us/news-and-events/news/donor-gives-after-deferral-lifted.html
