Do you know your blood type?
 

I have always known mine because my mother told me it was fairly rare and wanted me to be prepared if I needed some in an accident. This weekend the topic of being an organ donor came up in a conversation with a group of friends and only about half of us knew our blood type. Do you know yours?

offcourse nothing special though

so what are you like AB?

O positive. We had to type it in HS biology class.

B+. I was typed at birth. Why on earth people still aren't typed is beyond me.

AB-

1 person in 167 distribution.

yeah thats pretty rare

Near bottom of the chart,but it just doesn't seem "rare" for some reason.

O+
.............

A+ve bloodgroup

A negative

I thought it was something everyone learned in school.

B negatory

A+

.........

I did learn it in school but it's one of those things that has slipped my mind since then. I am going to find out soon tho and will be sure not to forget it. Shameful I know...ah well.

I had 2 blood transfusions in 2000. They have to have 2 hospital employees check and recheck each pint before they give it to you. If I didn't know it then, I certainly learned after hearing it 50+ times :)

I'm A+...anyone who has had children should know their type, especially mothers. The Rh factor in the parents' blood is a big deal.

B+ but I never knew until I was pregnant with my daughter.

offcourse. that's something every normal person knows.

mine is Red

I don't know what mine is :Oh crap

A+ ..............

I did know thanks to a bout of E.Coli poisoning a few years ago, but I've forgotten. I know I'm allergic to penicillin - that I WON'T forget!

I'd see a doctor about that. Doesn't sound normal to me.

Mines: C2H6O (AKA Ethanol)

:winkwink:
I.

.01% I was typed a few montrhs ago when a friend needed a kidney transplant

i have it written in my ID document

O+ I'm as common as they come. I only know because I donate blood and they stamped it on my donor card though.

Yep.. For some reason I had to learn to do bloodtests when I went to school.. Imagine 25 students with blood all over.. :-) That was a fun day..

A neg, gave blood just yesterday! :thumbsup

My mom is a science teacher and refused to let me take part in the 'lets prick each other's finger and bleed all over each other' day in science class. Even if it wasn't at the height if the AIDs scare that was just a bad idea in her eyes.

not sure, i should probably get that checked out though lol

I've always known mine for the same reason.....A Positive.

Course, my mother always wanted me to carry extra underwear in my glove compartment, in case of an accident. :winkwink:

my type: JD+

jack daniels in excess :smiling_b :laughing-

Mine's O+. My mother told me ever since I was little.

O+ the universal donor.

Blood type O+. I carry a redcross card with me that says my blood type just in case something bad happens.

actualy i dont lol.. i should check that

My blood type is AB. I knew it back then when I enrolled in college and the school asked all the enrollees to have physical exam.

AB is the rarest form of blood, but the good news is that it is the only form of blood that can recieve blood from anyone! Type O is the most common, but it can only receive blood from other O's

A+ I brag thats the only A+ I have gotten on a test ;-)


I donated blood and they sent me a thank you letter and told me what I was.

nope sorry, I have no idea :1orglaugh :1orglaugh
