Considering naturally that the donor blood is not infected by some other strains asymptomatic under radar as it sometimes happens.

Herx, I know nothing about babs.
1 or 2 of my last surgeries, my own blood was rerouted back into MY OWN body. I'd rather do that than get someone else's BAD blood with whatever in it.
When this occured, I didn't know I'd have chronic lyme for over 30 years! Bettyg Posted by herxmeister (Member # 9815) on :
I just saw an article when it helped a female patient. But that lady was severely anemic. Wondering if any insurance would cover such procedures with "Lyme stigma" type of sufferers.

After being bitten by ticks and getting Lyme and coinfections I will not donate blood or recieve it if entirely possible put my blood away ahead of time and require it be thrown away when its usfulness is about to expire.

Read up on it- it's not done unless someone's dying from acute infection from babesiosis and there's no other hope.
It's not a therapy- it's a last ditch life saving technique.
