Blood donation.: Donating blood or plasma is not bad for veins. The process is very similar to having blood drawn for a blood test. Usually the needle that is inserted into the vein causing no problem with the vein and the vein will heal over a few days after the needle stick. Donating blood or plasma will not hurt you.
