You're right, and that was also something I read when looking it up. My fault - I meant more along the lines of what it actually produced in the end.

Lately I've been selling plasma

I used to sell plasma twice a week for like two years back in college until this one time....

The machine for the person across the aisle from me started making a lot of noise. The nurse went over to go look at it when the hose popped loose and shot the person's blood all over the nurse and person in the chair next to him. I was disgusted. I never went back.

-Tigerband from August-Dec for 4 years
