Just curious. Let's say I wanted to donate some blood. Would it have negative or positive effect on my system?

Negative.

Takes awhile to recover from it. But on the plus side there is an overcompensation period.

Still not a reason not donate, you might be saving someone's life. Personally I don't like needles so I've always baulked at donating ever since a nurse decided that she needed to go straight through the vein and into the elbow joint with the needle.

I'm a donor.

I don't see things in that point of view (if it have negative or positive sides). For those who don't have problems with needles or something like that they should donate blood. I would like to receive if some day it was necesary. It's a moral question.

Its good if you use certain types of gear... lowers iron levels and other sides you can get from intense gear use....At least that is what I have heard/ seen results from other members of different boards.

I've never donated blood because I am really scared of loosing my blood.whenever I have a cut or something I really feel dizzy and feel bad for loosing my blood.So I don't think am going to donate my blood soon.
