O- is the universal donor because it doesn't have any of the other things attached, and therefore nothing that someone else's blood will see as a threat and try to attack.
AB+ is the universal acceptor because it has all of them, and therefore will recognize all of the extra enzymes as friendly.
Ya I'm one of those. I don't remember what it's called but I guess if I go for a blood test the result looks like some blood disease or something like that
Maybe the Bombay (hh) blood type. I think they can display false positives for hemolytic anemia and similar blood disorders. They also routinely test as O type, since they are genetically unable to produce H antigen, a synthetic precursor and structural component to the A and B antigens. However, genotypically someone with hh type may be either A, B, or AB, which is why there is a lot of muck-uppery when checking their blood.

Fucking looks like a bullet hell shooter ship getting upgraded
I remember hearing that if you're AB- you need to live somewhere near another AB- just incase cause they're rare. Always did wonder why they couldn't accept O bloodtypes though.
They can recive O- which I am. Aswell as A- and B-. Only O- is the one type that can ONLY recive from O-. I had to come in days before I gave birth just incase they needed it. All because they had none in stock.

Pretty sure it's negative.
My family always said it was the only A+ I'd ever get in life. Jerks.
