Idk. I donated for years without any negative side effects ever. You lay in a bed and scroll on your phone. It’s really not a big deal. The phlebotomists are skilled at what they do and I’ve never seen anything that could be described as poor standards and practices.
Believe whatever article you read. Ive donated hundreds of times.
Also there’s the issue of h2o2 introducing oxygen to the wound. So while yes, some bacteria may be killed, you are encouraging others to grow. “Bacteria” isn’t a single thing. It’s a whole ecosystem. It’s like, ok great you killed all the wolves. Now we have bears.
