    You're taking coke with a friend/aquantance. They hand you a rolled up note that's just been up their nose, and as often happens, their nose has bled a bit onto the note. You then snort, and the virus is passed on.

    It's actually a very real possibility, google it.

    I gave blood a few months ago. I got none of the expected dizziness or anything. I felt fine afterwards. On the other hand, I didn't get a warm 'good citizen' feelig either. I will give again though. Maybe tomorrow.......

    I used to give blood regularly as an undergraduate, and then when they tightened up the rules, they refused to accept my blood anymore. I had heart surgery when I was 10, and there is a risk that I will contract septicemia(?) or something similar from the needle. it's really annoying, my blood is fine but they won't take it!!

    Grandpa was the same. He was one of the first people to hold a gold pelican, but then they wouldn't take his blood from about 1980 on, when the realised he'd had jaundice during the war.

    Cool no worries, I believe you. Hadn't given it much thought though I must say. But I always use my own rolled €500 note anyway
