Acutally.. I'm a girl. And alot of other people sell their plasma just to get the cash. :) so I see no problem with doing the same.

Answer 1

I used to do it, got abot 25$ a week
they give you a bonus for weeks in a row
its really not worth it because of the energy drain and the food you have to buy to build back up
I also have visible vein scars 30 years later
place an ad for house cleaning or something instead.

Sell Your Plasma

Answer 6

Look in your phone book under Plasma and it should list place(s) where you can donate. Or use a search engine, adding your city after plasma donation. Where I live, you receive $30 the first time and $40 the second time in a week. You have to wait 72 hrs. between donations. (I think it's 72 hrs., when you call I'm sure they will tell you.) You must weigh a certain amount to donate, can't be underweight. The amt. of time it will take you depends upon your current weight also. You may not donate if you have a seizure disorder or have had brain surgery. You will be asked questions that may embarrass you-- sexual questions-- but you'll get used to it! It takes about 2-3 hrs. per time, but you can listen to music or read while doing it. It's pretty easy $, just hurts a bit- not too bad. I'm thinking you must be 18-- I'm a bit over that age so I didn't ask that! I've seen professional type people in there as well as blue collar types, all walks of life! One time a lady said she was saving for her kid's college and had banked quite a bit!

If you need cash, you may have donated plasma. Selling Blood plasma can get quick cash. The human body quickly replenishes its supply of plasma in the Blood. You should be careful when using your body for cash this way!

One recent study of over 400 college students, age 18 to 22, found that 10 percent have sold their Blood plasma at least once for cash payments of from $9 to $20 per donation. Of that group, three out of five are former Red Cross donors who stopped donating Blood for a lollipop and a T-shirt when they started selling their plasma for cash!

There are some precautions you should take before selling plasma:

Eat something in the hours just before going to the plasma center.
Drink a lot of water to avoid lightheadedness after selling plasma.
Do not drink alcohol for 72 hours after you sell Blood Plasma. Alcohol in the Blood stream can cause a problem replenishing the body's supply of plasma after dehydrating it with drinking alcohol.
Do not sell plasma more often than the plasma center recommends. This is a serious risk to your health by scarring your veins and causing iron deficiency.
Selling plasma and getting tested for HIV/AIDS and depending on those tests is not a good ides. The plasma center may not even inform you of the reason for rejecting your plasma.
One big risk that you might be taking by going to a plasma center to sell plasma is possible mistakes by the staff. It may be hard for the person taking your plasma to find a good vein, or the needle could slip out of the vein.
Buying plasma helps in medical research, etc., however, the primary purpose of the center is to make money.

There are more than 500 for-profit plasma collection centers in the United States, one of the largest suppliers of Blood plasma products in the world. According to the plasma industry, there are between 1.5 million and 2 million paid donors, 70 percent of whom donate regularly. Because the human body replenishes plasma more quickly than whole blood, plasma donations can be made twice weekly or a maximum of 104 times/year. Normally, whole Blood can be donated once every two months.

What is Blood Plasma? Plasma is the liquid component of Blood, in which the Blood cells are suspended. Serum is the same as Blood plasma except that clotting factors have been removed. Plasma is translucent with a faint straw color, similar to the color of this web page. It is mainly composed of water, Blood proteins, and inorganic electrolytes. Plasma serves as a transport medium for glucose, Blood borne lipids, hormones, metabolic end products, carbon dioxide and oxygen. Plasma is the storage and transport medium of clotting factors and the protein content that is necessary to maintain the pressure of the Blood circulatory system.

Not all plasma is the same. Plasma can differ in the kinds of antibodies that it contains. If a seller has specific antibodies in their Blood plasma in sufficient quantities, that person may be considered a 'special plasma seller'. People may also have a rare or in some cases even a unique Blood type that would set them apart as a 'special plasma seller.' While all plasma and Blood sales and donations are life-giving and precious, many plasma centers collect plasma from these special kinds of donors. These plasma sellers are often paid a premium for donating.
