Pros: Easy, low effort money. If you care about track marks, don’t treat this as anything but a supplemental income source. Otherwise will you start having to decide between track marks and making rent.
Track Marks: Make sure you swap the arm getting jabbed every time, and when you notice them start to develop, give it a break for awhile. If you are selling plasma twice a week, you can start to notice them even within a month.
Plasma Replenishment: Takes a day or so with solid liquids. Make sure you are drinking water regularly. They will pump you full of saline, which replaces most of the water, but it doesn’t always cut it. If your water levels are too low you might get rejected for the day. Also, some places will put that saline in at room temperature; your arm will feel like it’s full of ice cubes for 10 min.

As someone that’s had to have IV saline to treat some medical woes, fuck every place that does this. It’s sooo uncomfortable.
Thank you!
Another question: do track marks associated with donating blood look similar to track marks seen in IV drug abuse?
If you are donating whole blood (say, to the Red Cross), you do it so rarely you almost certainly won’t develop lasting track marks.
