AB+ 3%
That's me. I donate plasma now. It's good because it's universal.

What is Plasma?
Plasma is the fluid portion of blood -- the river which transports red blood cells, white cells and platelets through the body to nourish and protect tissues and organs. This pale yellow liquid is also rich in minerals and substances which help control bleeding.

Why is There a Special Need for AB Plasma?
In addition to being the rarest blood type (only about 3 percent of the population has type AB blood) AB plasma is the universal plasma type. AB plasma can be safely given to patients with any blood type.
I used to work @ a blood bank. I miss those free post-donation donuts
