UK or western EU . . .
this rule "Being deferred from travel to the UK and Western Europe due to concerns about Mad Cow Disease rules one out as a blood donor." is acctualy more complicated that they state here, basicly it's the same as others above, if you spent 6 months or more 1980-1996.
What I don't get about this rule is If I was only there for a week and had eaten mad cow infected beef I would be at risk. So what's up with the 6 month rule?
