Denied!

Tried to go and donate blood today at my work's annual blood drive.

I haven't donated blood in quite a long time.  I've been denied before, but that was because I had gotten a tattoo recently, and another time because one of my tattoos had gotten infected.

This time however, I cleared all the obstacles for donation without any trouble until they asked:  "Have you ever served in the Military overseas for over a total of 6 months?"  Answer:  Yes

"Were you ever stationed in Spain, Portugal, Turkey, Greece, Italy, Malta, etc... for over a total of 6 months?"  Answer:  Yes

Donation:  DENIED - Cannot donate INDEFINITELY

WTF?

So I asked  as to the reason why.  Answer:  Not entirely sure.  Something about Mad Cow Disease.

What. The. Fuck?

So, I can't donate blood for the indefinite future.  Interesting.
