The blood source between Mom's and kids is a little different. Too worn out right now to give you sites. Mom's with MG can have babies with temporary MG symptoms, etc.

Tbarney, That is exactly the logic behind people with autoimmune diseases not giving blood. It hasn't been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that those with autoimmune diseases can "give" the disease to others by giving blood. But considering they don't really know jack about autoimmune diseases and how they work, why take the chance?

I sure wouldn't want to give someone blood even if the chance of them getting MG, even temporarily, was 1%.
