"Anywhere outside the resort in Cancun?"
"Tulum."
"Well..."

"I'm sorry. Mexican ruins are high risk for malaria."

"From me? I'm safe. Look! See how safe I am? And how much iron!"
"I'm sorry."
"[mumble]"
"You're not a failure."

I was rejected as well, by a stupid, weak, 1% iron content.
Is there a support group for donor rejects? I think we need one, if there isn't. I've been rejected too, for the iron thing. It's not my fault the female body has to clean itself on a monthly basis, now let me save a LIFE DAMMIT!!
