    inspired by the "did you ever give blood thread", most of you should know what blood type you are.

    curious to see what the dispersion is and whether or not most people do actually know.

    O+. Could have gotten an N- if I actually studied for the blood test.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    O+ 47%
    A+ 26%
    B+ 9%
    O- 8%
    A- 5%
    B- 2%
    AB+ 2%

    Mine is the same as my motto on life: Be positive.
    My friend from Leitrim says he's got the Culchices motto on life. Ah, be positive.
    :D

    I give blood regularly, but I reckon they chuck it out most the time. I used to work as a nurse and in all my time there I only ever saw B+ blood hanging up once.

    Most Irish people are 0 (either + or -)

    52% 0
    35% A
    10% B
    3% AB

    It'll be interesting to se if Boards.ie matches up with these generally accepted fiures.

    I am surprised that O would be so common.

    Im AB-. Almost the universal recipient.

    What is this blood you speak of? My body runs on pure hate! Far superior to that blood stuff! :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 842 ✭✭✭starflake


    This is a really stupid question but is your blood type determined by your genetics? Will you have the same blood type as your parents... do blood cells contain DNA? I guess they must have..... mmmm Just wondering... I really dont know my biology

    O negative here. its good for sick babies apparently. any time i donate the nurses there seem genuinely happy to see me. 'oh so you're the o neg, thanks for coming down, thanks a lot'. works wonders for the ego.
    although in saying that i'm thinking of changing it next year, maybe trade up to something more exclusive. any suggestions?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,752 ✭✭✭pablomakaveli


    what is it about the blood that determines its type?

    is it the white cell count or something along those lines?

    does anyone here know?

    yes it's genetic. but that doesnt mean you neccesarilly HAVE to have the same as your parents. mutations can occur. for instance; my mum is -B, my dad +AB. and although both me and one of my sisters are -B, my other sis is +0.
    what is it about the blood that determines its type?

    as far as I know, it's the type of agglutinogens that exist on your red blood cell protiens

    white blood cell deficiency if i recall correctly is cancer.

    o+ rhesus d - (only 15 % of o+ are rhesus d -)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,094 ✭✭✭✭javaboy


    Be advised that this is a public poll: other users can see the choice(s) you selected.

    I'd be very wary of answering this poll. Why would it be a public poll? The OP obviously needs a drop of the red stuff and is sussing out potential donors. Those who have their real locations in their profiles and have posted pictures in Know Yore Nerds should be especially cautious.

    you wouldnt really describe having the O blood group as being '+' for O, the + symbol is to tell us if the D antigen is present on the red blood cell, sorry for getting technical...
