Blood Types

Postby pault » Tue May 22, 2007 1:07 pm

I was just wondering what my blood type was recently, so I went and found out. Mainly because I tend to do plenty of daft things that could end up in serious injuries at times :roll:

It turns out I'm AB- (A rhesus B negative) which is supposed to be quite rare.

Does anyone else know what their type is? Just curious :D

I haven't for awhile, no fears of blood or needles just haven't gotten around to it. But that is something that is going to change very soon, just looking for the nearest blood bank to me.

Also I have juicy veins so i've been told, by the nurses.

Plus since my blood type is only 2% of the population I should give blood.

Yup, thats right - O's can give to anyone, while AB's can take from anyone but give to noone but themselves, the selfish buggers :lol:

Proof that Type O people are the most generous, loving, giving and generally nicest :wink:

So does that mean you need a blood transfusion Milo?

To get some blood into your alcohol system :D
