Little Nemo Jun 2024 3:21pm, 10 Jun 2024 14,785 posts	0 Little Nemo Going back a few pages re. health benefits - there are some people who have too much iron. They have to donate blood to keep it within a healthy range. I only know this as I had a colleague who had this condition. Saw the appeal this morning but I can't give again until August.
