What's your blood type?
 

.

I'm also O+.

In the past 7 years that I've been eligible to donate I've already donated 1 1/2 gallons to the Blood Bank of Hawaii. Provided that I remain healthy, I will continue to donate! :)

O+ as well

I am scheduled to donate next week as they are coming to campus.

In Alaska it was interesting to watch people donate blood in the ballroom, then go downstairs to The Pub to have a few. They figured they would get drunk faster since they had less blood. :rolleyes:

I'm B+.

I am not allowed to donate blood... It makes me sad because I feel like a bad, uncaring person when everyone else goes to donate, but they won't take mine. :(

I don't have a funky disease or anything - I swear!

O positive

O neg

B positive

I have a HUGE fear of needles so I've never given blood and therefore never learned my blood type. My sister gave blood last month so I called her to find out what type I have since her's would be the same as mine. :)

A+

A-

I found mine out when I donated blood for myself for a surgery I had.

I have also donated blood on many occasions.

I really don't know.

I'm going to assume I'm O positive, since the 'rents are.

Is it true the red cross sells our donated blood over seas?

PLEASE don't just assume that! My brother & I are different types; he's A- and I'm A+. He needed a transfusion recently, and I couldn't help him. :(

You're right. Daddy Munch is one type, but Uncle Munch is another--in fact, his is one of the rarest. Basically, one of my grandparents was AO, and the other was BO. Therefore, some of the siblings are AB, others are O.

O positive. However, I'm barred from donating blood since I spent time overseas in Europe, where there might be the remote chance of possibly getting mad cow disease.

Another needle hater here. I don't even want to let them do a blood test at the doctors.

(Don't ask me to explain my pierced ears and the 2 tattoos:p )

I understand. It is totally different to have a hole punched in you than to have a needle sucking blood out of you. The one time I gave blood, the person doing it apparently did it wrong because it hurt like hell... to the point where I was crying uncontrollably. They took the needle out once they realized that I was in pain, but I don't think I can ever give blood again because of that one bad experience. Luckily, I'm quite a bleeder, so I managed to give them just enough blood in the short time that the needle was in my arm!

I cant remember but I'm either AB+ or AB-...I know I'm in the minority eitherway

I'm O+

And now here is some useless info from your resident biologist :)
Certian blood types have certian antigens, making you more susceptiable to certian diseases.

A: You are likely to get viruses, such as: sphyllis, smallpox, bronchial pnemounia, and Rhemetic heart disease

B:You are more likely to get bacterial infections like: the flu, infantile diarrehia(cased byE.coli ), thyphoid fever, and scarlet fever

O: The radoms, more likely to get: Bubonic plauge, chlorea, and parathyphoid


This has been your useless fact of the day...enjoy!:)

O+ and I've given blood twice, but my natural body temp's just thismuch to high to give so I either have to cheat the thermometer or not give....but I've been told not to give again both times I gave...the first time caz it took 20 min and I was too slow, the second because it took 4 min. and I almost passed out...

I can't give blood, so I've never been able to figure out my type. I think, however, that both my parents are AB+. I'm pretty sure, anyways. Is there a way to get your type w/o losing a pint in the process?

AB+, I suppose I should donate blood more often, but I've just recently cleared the 1 yr. rule since I got my navel pierced. It seems that whenever I am "safe" to danate I end up getting another piercing or tattoo.

I have no idea what my blood type is.

I also can't donate blood because I am a diabetic and in Canada diabetics are barred from donating blood.

I am O+, Mr Sageofages is AB+, we have 3 biological children :).

A+, B+ and O+ ....go figure :).

The blood bank called recently to ask Mr Sageofages to donate blood. He responded "I am sorry I can not donate, I am in a high risk group" and hung up the phone. Whereupon I said "what the F*ck do you mean HIGH RISK group? Is there something I should know?" He looked me *without* blinking..."I am in a high risk group...*afraid* of needles"

geez...I did throw the sofa pillow at him.

O+

I usually have trouble because I'm always anemic, but sometimes my blood sinks in the test like it's supposed to. I'm always borderline! I still can't give because of my time overseas, but hopefully soon I can give.

o pos

I get semi-weak when they take a sample, so I dunno about giving.

O+
I give blood every chance that I get. I used to not be able to give blood because I was anemic.

I don't really worry about it :) as I was there at conception and he is the only father :) AND should the boys ever need blood they will be typed then :) hehehehe

B+

Better to have Blood coming out of Arm in controlled situations, than anyother Part of the Body being in a wreck or otherwise!

Donor on My D L!:) :cool:

Hubby is O something. I think I'm AB something, but I have no clue.

Is this something that's really really important to know, or should I not worry about making an appt. w/ my doctor TODAY to have her prick my finger? :D

I'm O but can never remember if I'm + or -. The last time I gave blood was senior year in college but would like to give again where I live now.
