My blood group saved my life. Years ago I stepped on a rusty nail so went to the hospital for an anti-tetanus injection. The nurse accidentally injected me with anti-D instead which is given to women with negative blood after childbirth or miscarriage. They didn't realise for a couple of hours then the nurse phoned me in tears. She was frantically saying sorry until I calmed her down by stating that my blood group is AB Negative.

Interestingly enough, anti-D is sometimes given to Rh positive people as a treatment for the autoimmune disorder ITP. It works by "distracting" the immune system into going after red blood cells, which are easy to produce more of, rather than platelets.

When a person gets a sickle cell gene from both parents they only make hemoglobin S and will suffer sickle cell disease. When a person just has one Hemoglobin S gene, they will make both Hemoglobin A (normal) and Hemoglobin S and appear healthy. That is called “sickle trait”. Red cells from sickle trait people will sickle (deform) under extreme conditions like being invaded by a malarial parasite. The deformed red cell will be removed from circulation thus removing the parasite as well. Sickle trait people do better than others when living in an endemic area. When the presence of sickle trait increases in a population the occurrence of sickle cell disease increases as well.

Type O+ blood doesn't protect you from getting malaria, but it might just help you recover quicker. As a type O+ myself and living in a hot, humid equatorial climate, I've gotten malaria many times over the years. In 2 or 3 cases, it was severe enough to require hospitalisation. But I recovered rather rapidly every time.

I'm glad I'm an O negative. The rest of the world is glad I am too, because almost everyone can be saved by my blood. During the pandemic, people with my blood type were least likely to get infected and I never was.

Type O- Great bloody band (eww, pun not intended, but i'm letting it stand, ha ha)

Correction about only mentioning the H antigen in relation to the O blood type. All of the ABO types have the H antigen! It is the "pre-antigen" or as some refer to it, the "ancestor antigen" that A & B antigens are built on. Without the H antigens the A & B antigens would not present. That's the whole basis for Bombay blood type. A person with Bombay type blood has no H antigens. So regardless if A & B genotypes are present in that person, no actual A or B antigens will be produced and so that person will only present as type O. Which is why an additional test for the presence or absence of H antigens is used for double checking a type O result in regions where the Bombay type is known to exist (Mostly in the Indian sub continent and some parts of Iran) to see if the H antigen is present or not. (HH, Hh vs hh) And if the test shows there are no H antigens (hh), then the person is not a true O blood type. Instead the person is the Bombay blood type

I'm just A+ but apparently there's something going on with my platelets and plasma because after I donated blood once while in the military, they asked me if I would donate just those two things as often as possible because whatever it was about them made them extremely good at healing injuries and helping recovery. I've always healed ridiculously fast, if I took a knife and sliced my arm open in a 3 inch line within 2 days it'd look over a week old and within the week it'd just be a smooth scar that looks like it has been healed for a month or more. Only downside I've noticed with it is that due to my spine/back injury I have to routinely get my nerves burnt off to help lessen the constant pain I'm in, it's supposed to last a good chunk of time but my nerves apparently also grow back much quicker than usual and so I don't get the general time frame of relief that others get, and tri-care doesn't care that I heal fast, they'll still only pay for it once every 6 months.

RH+ and RH- are not blood types. They are a variety on the types that already exist, meaning everyone is either positive or negarive. Personally, I have O RH negative blood. This means I do not have the A or B antigen nor the RH. This means that if I were to need a blood transfusion, I could only receive O negative blood or it would clot in my body. However, anyone can receive O negative blood. It doesn't have antigens and therefore won't cause an autoimmune response and therefore clotting. This is why people with O negative blood are called universal donors. It is the same reason people with AB+ blood are called universal receivers. It doesn't matter what blood type they receive because they possess all the antigens already, so if they receive blood missing antigens, it won't matter because that person's immune system is not encountering any NEW antigens. As you can see, this is why you hear of blood clinics and hospitals asking specifically for donations of O negative blood constantly. It's because when they need to give someone blood, perhaps because they were in a car crash and nearly died from blood loss, but there's no time to check what type they are, they can be instantly given O neg blood. Blood type is genetic. A and B types are dominant while O is recessive. So, for me to have O- blood, both my parents would have had to have at least carried it. (they were both O neg coincidentally, meaning myself and my siblings were all O neg since O neg people can't pass on A or B genes). You inherit either A, B, or O from your parents. Someone with type A blood can have the gene for, obviously, A blood but have the other gene for O, but because O is recessive they show as A. This is why someone whose parents are type A and B can be either type A, B, AB or O. However, if one of your parents is AB, you are guaranteed to either inherit type A or B blood from them, meaning you could not possibly be type O.

Jay Stark bottom line is in America if you’re type O, at least 45% of them, you have it the best. They’re not all whiny, wound-up, and worried about being liked, and have the longest life spans. The most cruel and/or intimidating bosses will always be type O’s. Skin cancer, weird diseases, and ulcers are what kill them the earliest, otherwise they make it to their 80’s and 90’s easily. Type A’s are the ones that fall easiest to heart disease and high blood pressure because they are such sensitive beings. A person with type A blood that makes it into their 90’s is a novelty. Jimmy Carter is one. But most die in their 60’s or 70’s. Type B’s are a mixed bag, mostly 70 or 80-something for them.

Olivia, I really liked how you brought attention to a factor that affects our health that many individuals don't think about. It is important for people to firstly know not only what blood type they have, but to understand what having that certain blood type means. Blood just about everywhere in our body and effects us more than we know. People with type O blood have less clotting factors and are protected against malaria. This may be important for those who are susceptible to malaria, like the population in Africa, to get tested in order to find out what blood type they have in order to take precautionary measures. Also, Americans should be required to know and understand their blood type I believe. Like the video said, those with blood type A, B, or AB are more at risk for heart disease, heart attack, and stroke more than those with type O blood. If I am a person whom eats badly everyday and is overweight with type A, B, or AB blood, this opens my eyes to the increased risks I am putting myself at. I am not saying those with type O blood can eat whatever they want or people with A, B, or AB blood are unhealthy, however, it may help society understand take action against preventable diseases all by understanding and testing what blood type we are.

Let's talk about "preventable" diseases. Understand this - NO disease is entirely preventable. Why? Genetics is why. Diseases like diabetes run in families, as do disabilities such as ASD & ADD/ADHD. Proven by masses of empirical research. Like one of the team who wrote the human genetic code. You see he wrote his OWN genome and despite not having a family history of diabetes discovered he had the genes for diabetes - yes, we know where they are. And - post a viral infection - developed - yup, you guessed it, diabetes. That's because 50% of our susceptibility to disease is due to our genetic inheritance. Yes, that still leaves 50% due to environmental factors BUT these are also often shaped by our parents - our primary care givers during the 1st 5 years of life. And old habits can be real hard to break. My point is that while eating healthily in moderation and exercise can work to PREVENT conditions like diabetes & cardiovascular disease FROM DEVELOPING - they DON'T ELIMINATE YOUR CHANCES OF GETTING SAME ENTIRELY. Some cancers - like breast & ovarian cancer in women are due 100% to your genetic inheritance - the BRACA 1 & 2 genes specifically. Same with breast & testicular cancer in men. Other cancers of the reproductive organs - so cervical & uterine in women & penile in men - the papilloma virus has been linked, but genetic inheritance is definitely a stronger influencing factor. Bowel, stomach cancer - prolly combination of diet & genes. Skin, lung on the other hand are much more environmentally caused than genetically. So what I really don't want to see is people blamed and shamed for coming down with certain diseases that it didn't matter WHAT they did - the genetic inheritance was just too strong.

Well, that's maybe a bit stretched, but for parts of the continent it is definitely true. If you go want everyone to know their blood type, go ahead. Demand a law for it. I don't care. But your perspective is absolutely weird to me.

@@lisastenzel5713 I'd say this is a situation where the person has privilege but cannot check it at the door. Unfortunately. And checking that privilege at the door is something we ALL need to get better at. Unfortunately. Blood type IS important. I'm type O, so I can take any blood on offer, provided it's also RH- blood. But if your blood type is A, B or AB, well, should you need blood, then the options are a bit more limited. But for most of us - that's where the importance ends. It's only really a thing if you need a blood transfusion or are on the organ transplant list. Science says your genetics are almost as important as your environment is when it comes to the development of chronic disease. Current thinking sees genetic inheritance as being responsible for 1/3 of your chance of developing chronic disease, with 2/3 being due to environmental factors - at least that's the situation with mental health conditions such as depression & anxiety. Personally speaking - I think it's more like 50/50 split AND they interlock. Because where do we develop our coping skills, our diet - from the same parents who gave us that genetic inheritance!!

I love the information presented in this video and I enjoyed the whole thing very much. I also want to know where I can get Olivia's sweater??? It looks amazing on her and if anyone knows where I can get it (or something similar) I would greatly appreciate it.

I enjoy the content. I don't focus on who's hosting or providing the information, because that really doesn't matter. As long as I'm learning something new I'm open to listen to anyone talk.

Tbh the main reason i wanted to donate blood last year was so i could find out my blood type. A+, here!

Interesting Observation: . low quality video or viewers vision or a combination of both makes her nose ring look like a runny nose instead due to the glare it produces before you figure out its actually just a nose ring.

Great Information! Job well done!

Thanks for the info!!

A few years ago, I was diagnosed with von willebrand disease after one blood test but then another blood test revealed I don't have the disease but just have relatively low von willebrand factor. The doctor said that people with an O negative blood type like me are more likely to have a low von willebrand factor & they're not sure why.

You're great Olivia. I've enjoyed your hosting ever since you started.

She has improved SO much! :)

I have always wondered about the characteristics my blood gives me. Thanks SciShow! 😆

Thanks, very informative

I would have appreciated more numbers in this episode, like: "people with 0 blood are 8 times more likely to get hospitalized", 8 times what? 1% for those without 0 type? 10%? 0,05%? Or "higher rates of heart attacks" for those without 0 type. Higher like what? 1% more than the highest of those? 10%? 40%? Please don't be so vague. It it's true we can search for these things on our own, but these numbers aren't asking for much if you are already talking about the topic you have researched beforehand. You are critized enough with the voice of the host (even though unlike others I don't mind that much, I'm rather focused on the content), to add these things on top (more like miss them). But for the most part, thanks for your research and divulgation on these topics; keep on the good work.

TheNikoNik actually it is better to talk about the ratio between the two groups because the percentage is calculated over the total population but blood types are not equally distributed. For example if the incidence of a factor over group X is 2% and over group Y is 4% might seem that Y is more affected but if the population is 1/3 group X and 2/3 group Y than everything is normal

What about having a negative or positive blood type? Do those effect things like disease contraction as well?

Thank you for that info :-)

Yea! No glasses shadow! I know it's such a small thing, but it was REALLY distracting. Love you guys!

Okay, so... How does Rhesus (Rh) factor (positive/negative) affect you more than just who you can donate to? Is it just the A/B antigens that have these effects, or does Rhesus factor have its own effects separately from the antigens?

I think Olivia? Did an excellent job? Answering my burning questions on these topics about blood type? There's just one thing? That seems to bother me? I just can't put my finger on what it is?

As a Brit, I find both of their voices very abrasive 😖

You should have also covered the rhesus factor in blood types. It is especially an issue with -Rh women and pregnancy. I'm -O, which surprised me, because I thought both my parents were +Rh. Turns out the navy mistyped my Dad's blood as +A. He's actually -A. At least it answered my questions! (He found it out shortly before I found out my blood type after blood donation, the first time I did so.)

IT's part of how humans communicate. Most of how we relay information to each other is not verbally, even during conversation. Much of it is with visible and physical cues. That's why people can misinterpret texts so easily as being aggressive; they're putting a tone on it that the text lacked because it didn't have any context. "I don't care." can be interpreted as pretty passive aggressive or rude. However, the same sentence said with a shrug or a hand wave with a smile can be interpreted as more passively indifferent and welcoming, maybe even showing more concern for your preference on the topic at hand.

It's funny that I have both my mom's (B+) and my dad's blood type (A-), making me AB+ which is really helpful in the donation of plasma, and plus it helps to have AB+ blood if I needed a blood transfusion because we can accept all blood types of blood. Most people think that the O blood type is the luckiest or the best blood group out there, but that's only for the blood donors who need the donations from theis specific group of people.
