Reply to comment by Carbon_Rod in TIL about Lillan Bloodworth, who donated blood every 56 days for nearly 50 years. By the time she stopped at age 85, she had donated 23 gallons. (The average person's body contains about 1.5 gallons.) by WouldbeWanderer

Yeah I had to cut back to twice a year or so. Also heard in some other countries the time between donations is longer for women.

Here in the UK it's 16 weeks between donations for women, and 12 for men.
