Do you know your blood type?

Everyone should B positive.

I’m Type O+.

What’s CMV?

Cytomegalovirus. Akin to herpes, I think.

From the CDC website -

My son is O neg, CMV neg, with easy to hit veins. The Red Cross calls him as soon as he’s re-qualified to give. CMV neg blood is the only kind that can be given to premies.

What a timely thread. I just cut my thumb tonight as we were putting together some kitchen stools.

It appears to be red. I suppose the lack of pointy ears should have been the first clue.

Same blood type, same mnemonic :cool: Didn’t learn it until I was in my mid-20s and went to donate blood, though.

Nope. Due to a combination of overseas travel and a tendency to low iron, I’ve never really been a suitable donor and there’s not been another reason to find it out.

Same. Just pour the crimson in me Jimson.

Yes, and I’m glad I know in case I need to.

I’m B+
