Cannot donate blood

Just wanted to give the Canadians a heads up, Canadian blood services declined our blood yesterday. We got back Saturday. As it turns out if you travel to Cancun you are fine to give blood, but if you go to any town outside of Cancun they will refuse you because that small town is not listed on their safe list. We went to Isla Mujeres on Steves booze cruise (which was great). Their logic is flawed because every small town is not listed in the safe list, but it is what it is.

So now we can not donate blood for 1 year, (due to Malaria).

So if someone in your family or you know counts on your blood or you have a rare blood type that Canadian blood services counts on, do not go on the booze cruise (sorry Steve)

Of course I do not know the policies of other countries, so if this is an issue for you you might want to do some homework before you go.

And yes I am fairly confident the alcohol was out of our system by then.

I found this out several years ago. Cancun was fine, but going to Chitzen Itza somehow made my blood poisonous as far as the red cross was concerned. Couldn't donate for a year.
