I was listening to the American military radio here in Korea and they invited soldiers to donate blood with some exceptions:

  • if you’ve been shorter than 30 days in Korea
  • if you got a tatoo in the last 6 months
  • if you lived in Europe for more than 5 years

I really wonder what could have happened to someone who lived in Europe for more than 5 years which triggered this particular exception.

    Mad cow disease can (sometimes/possibly) take decades to have an effect. If you are some infected meat and have the wrong genetics you could wind up with a sponge for a brain 30 years later.

    Prions are terrifying.
