fiesty76 - Not only can I not remember my blood type, I can't remember if I have ever known my blood type. This is the really pathetic part - I keep making a mental note to ask every time I have a blood test for something or other, but no, that never happens. I think my blood type is just one of those things which is destined to be a mystery to me forever. I figure that if I cut my arm off with a chainsaw, the ambulance peeps can just give me type O. Heh-heh, hope they have it.

@zep Blood types are not done routinely. However, at birth -nowadays at least- babies are typed and mothers during pregnancy.
You are right- if you need blood it will be done then. Don’t get hurt!!

@zep
If you really want to find out your blood type and you don’t want to go to the lab go donate blood.

@zep. I got my blood typed when I had my second child, they told me something about my blood not compatible with my son or something like that,also something about antibodies. I have OPositive, that's good I guess. My son found out recently he's type A. I don't think it's routine to type blood but it's good to know if any of my family needs blood, albeit aged, like fine wine, I'm willing and able to give. It seems that everyday there's something on the internet about things relating to covid. There's alot of fake news so I don't really pay attention to them anymore.
