Other interesting things about us O negs:
*We're notorious nightowls
*Our blood is based on copper, not iron.
*We are the "bluebloods" (makes sense because copper turns blue when oxidized)
*We generally have higher IQs
*Most of us dont like glare in our eyes
*As a group, we're healthier than other types
*We may have lower lung function and allergies/asthma

Just a few things that make us different.

I’m heading to donate my blood this afternoon. O negative. Here in the UK we get a text telling us which hospital/ clinic your donation went to 🇬🇧

Thanks for sharing this info, I never knew that fact about Canada, That's where my Grandparents and alot of both sides of my ancestors are from... and My mother was O negative and was given a shot after each child birth, and I was given a shot after each of my childrens births...
Although I didn't think I was O neg...but all Gifts from God 😇✨💯

Well.... My 3 of my kids and I are O Neg. and my 2 other kids are O Pos.
I have received 5 pre Rho- Gam shots and 2 post Rho- Gam shots Because 2 of my kids were O Pos. The post Rho- Gam shots is a protective substance for me so I wont get hurt or die. Same reason with the Pre - Rho- Gam, protects me and the Embryo, since the blood type of the baby ( embryo) is unknown.
The shot can be painful cuz you get it in the cheek of your tush.
Im from the U.S. A.. A Michigander!😁

I have ABRH- I have been told by many staff when I give blood 🩸 that they always want O blood types but the rarest blood type is ABRH- and they always ask if my siblings are it as too and ask me to encourage them to come in to donate as this is the blood that’s the rarest type. My older bro is just AB so they said not as rare but still happy to have it. My momma is A and my father was BRH- And that’s my family blood types! We all followed the blood type diet years ago 😂that’s why we know our blood types

My dad had O-. My mom had A+. I have O+
