    Platelets are sphere shaped components in your blood that hardens and builds up in the blood vessel when you have a cut or wound, they stop you from bleeding. Having more platelets is good for you. Some people with hemophilia don't have platelets so they die from a small cut due to excessive bleeding. So you should donate some.
