I couldn’t even manage a gentleman’s B. I got an O-.

[Chicory]

Me too! I always say I have the best blood type :D

[NonValueAdded]

Unpossible!!! This was settled science and we all know what that means.

[Organic Panic]

I have the unfortunate B negative blood. If I get in an accident I am screwed.

[alexander_busek]

The chart here is flawed. Specifically, the bottom line ("Antibodies in plasma") contains mistakes. To wit: The colors of the antibodies are correct, but the shapes should be reversed. Thus, the "anti-B" antibody should have angular receptors matching/fitting the "B antigen" cattycornered to it in the previous line, and the "anti-A" antibody should have "cupped" receptors matching/fitting the "A antigen" cattycornered to it in the previous line. The antibodies in the rightmost ("O") column should likewise be switched in shape.

BRAVO!

[PLMerite]

"When a pregnant woman had her blood sampled back in 1972..."

...jeez, how hard was that to figure out?

[Redcitizen]

“I have the unfortunate B negative blood. If I get in an accident I am screwed.”

That would really fit the definition of Organic panic.

Wishing you the best. Be safe. :)

[ckilmer]

Yeah I’m O + too but my mood goes up and down—especially when I eat.
