    My father is utterly terrified of needles and I generally keep my distance from them. However, these fears can be overcome by the simple knowledge that you are potentially saving the lives of not just one person, but multiple people. It could be someone you know who needs blood next.

    I've donated blood almost 10 times and I try to get to the donation drive as often as I am allowed to (After the minimum period elapses).

    They can have a kidney as long as it doesn't involve any needles, I would be shaking too much to find an artery anyway I HATE NEEDLES. I already disliked them but after I tore of a finger and had a local sedation GAWDDAMNIT TEH PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN straight into the wound "this is going to be somewhat painful" DAMNED STRAIGHT it's painful alright.

    Support that.

    I keep having to get toenail cut out from in my toe. I refuse the needles to numb the toe and watch the blade slice into my toes. It hurts like #$*^&)$^&)$#^) but its better than a needle.

    Being shot gives me less fear than a needle.

    I cannot give blood.

    I faint when I see my blood. Surprisingly I have no problem when I see other peoples' blood and 100% able to help someone severely injured. Since I go into a state of shock when I see my blood the doctors do not allow me to even try to give blood.

    But I wish that I could because it is a great thing to do.

    When I cut myself, even a little bit, I gotta sit down and relax or else I go down. So next time donate some blood for me too

    I'm the same way. I almost passed out at the Doctor's office when they made me give blood for a test.

    I'd love to get blood, but would definitely faint if I tried. I also loathe needles.

    I take comfort in the knowledge that within 30 years they will be synthesizing blood.

    I faint upon hearing my own heart beat. On the other hand, one of the smaller calibres for vacunation into the arm is quite pleasing.

    lol, I do not understand people's fear of needles. What is the big deal? In my experience they do not hurt at all. I once had to take a pair of pliars and stick a red hot pin into my toe nail to relieve the pressure of a bloodblister. If I could have had a needle stuck into me to numb the pain, I would have done it!

    Oh well, it does not matter anyway, because we are all DOOMed.
    Hammer, anvil, forge and fire, chase away The Hoofed Liar. Roof and doorway, block and beam, chase The Trickster from our dreams.
    Vigilance is our shield, that protects us from our squalid past. Knowledge is our weapon, with which we carve a path to an enlightened future.
