I’m also B-. It is the second rarest blood type with one out of 167 having it.

Hard to tell with the Eldon card they sent.

In college, I went along with a grad student to give blood. We were comparing cards, and it turned that that his blood was pretty rare because of one or two additional antigens.

He was one of a handful in the state, and after testing/processing, his blood would be put in a flat pack, and immersed in LN2 before heading off for the deep freeze until it's really needed for a type-specific recipient.

I went to school with a guy who also had a rare blood type.

He and the few people in the world who have it donate blood very often so it will be available if one of them needs it.
