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

I’m about the same amount but had to stop due to my iron being too high.
I did a full blood work up and EVERYTHING was good but other issues have slowed my donating.
I’m aiming for 111 donations.

What's ironic is that a treatment for iron being too high is to draw blood!
