I contracted malaria and fortunately I have type O blood. It lay dormant for a while after my holidays but my blood type literally saved my life!
Wow!
OMG LORD OLIVIA PLZ RESPOND
SciShow Wow you answered
Sapphire Dixon dayum! Lucky bro!
lol you got the comment!
I've never been more delighted to have Blood type O+.
Onionbagel O+, baby
Onionbagel O+ rules! :D
Onionbagel My doctor told me i that i had both;AB and O.
Xx_NetherKing_xX MC You mean ABO? That must mean that the alleles for blood type are co- dominant.
Oh I'm positive that's a good blood type!
My blood group saved my life. Years ago I stepped on a rusty nail so went to the hospital for an anti-tetanus injection. The nurse accidentally injected me with anti-D instead which is given to women with negative blood after childbirth or miscarriage. They didn't realise for a couple of hours then the nurse phoned me in tears. She was frantically saying sorry until I calmed her down by stating that my blood group is AB Negative.
Gg gods plan
P
Interestingly enough, anti-D is sometimes given to Rh positive people as a treatment for the autoimmune disorder ITP. It works by "distracting" the immune system into going after red blood cells, which are easy to produce more of, rather than platelets.
why are RBC's easier to produce mor eof than platelets. Is it bc its more readily available or bc platalets have a specific function?@@japanpanda2179
Then she replied "are you positive!?"
That's also the thing with sickle cell anemia. Some believe it's actually a mutation that was helpful to our ancestors living in areas where malaria was common. Which is why it stayed with us until today.
Check out the duffy blood group.
Yes, the crook sikel, prevents the malaria from attaching.
I'm not sure their blood types but I have an uncle and cousins who are carriers for sickle cell anemia and my uncle had malaria twice but seemingly no extreme negative effects so this seems to check out 😮
When a person gets a sickle cell gene from both parents they only make hemoglobin S and will suffer sickle cell disease. When a person just has one Hemoglobin S gene, they will make both Hemoglobin A (normal) and Hemoglobin S and appear healthy. That is called “sickle trait”. Red cells from sickle trait people will sickle (deform) under extreme conditions like being invaded by a malarial parasite. The deformed red cell will be removed from circulation thus removing the parasite as well. Sickle trait people do better than others when living in an endemic area. When the presence of sickle trait increases in a population the occurrence of sickle cell disease increases as well.

MrDougy if that's true I hope they know that this presenter isn't my.... favorite... let's just say. It's hard to not make it sound like a personal attack but her voice is just hard to listen to....
Ideally Jekyl Oops tagged you instead of Last Shadow
I actually got very surprised when I got the notification: "SciShow loved your comment!"
I don't even know what blood type I am. I'd like to know, but I always forget to ask my doctor.
Makinah Starkey The Red Cross lets me know every day, but I would feel guilty saying to stop emailing/calling me
SebastianTheGreat I have a friend who has a family member that gets calls from where he donates blood. He has a rare blood type so they want a lot of his blood. I remember my friend telling me he ignores their calls sometimes, haha.
You can always find out by donating blood. They'll do a quick test to determine it. That's how I found out about mine when my wife was pregnant.
SebastianTheGreat
My mom knows that feeling
Lorand Deka does it hurt?
Type O+ blood doesn't protect you from getting malaria, but it might just help you recover quicker. As a type O+ myself and living in a hot, humid equatorial climate, I've gotten malaria many times over the years. In 2 or 3 cases, it was severe enough to require hospitalisation. But I recovered rather rapidly every time.
I'm glad I'm an O negative. The rest of the world is glad I am too, because almost everyone can be saved by my blood. During the pandemic, people with my blood type were least likely to get infected and I never was.
Im o negative, had covid for the first time last December and ended up hospitalised. My mum is o negative aswell, she caught it off me. Me niece is o negative and has had it too.
I have 0 negative blood type, and to my knowledge, I never got Covid. If I did, .it was a light strain
If you are "A negative" person you should try to "B positive."
;)
Master Therion heh
I am Olways positive
Bloody hell

I love how there are references in the video description! Not all "scientific channels" do that. Congratulations for the excellent and informative job!
It’s because SciShow and Crash Course were created by the Green Brothers (Hank and John) and they take education very seriously😊
O neg, everyone wants my blood including me
over all in US a little less than Seven percent, World wide a little less than three percent, and yet 0- can only use o-, while it is universal for the other types, a select few of us to share our blood,
I set my alarm on my phone when it's time to donate blood. I know if I don't go in they are going to call me non stop anyways lol. Seriously it's the least I could do being O-. It's the easiest way to save a life!

O- squad up! I try to donate when possible since it is a high demand type, but then when i cant which is somewhat often (sick, injured, stress level 10000) the blood centers literally hound me to no end haha. Even when i ask them to not >.

antori antori SciShow liked your comment!
antori antori me too
It looks so cute when she is sometimes jumping a bit like someone who is really excited :'D
I like this episode. Thought I knew a lot about blood types but apparently there's more I missed than I thought. Thanks Olivia! Keep it up!
She completely skipped over those of us who are RH- or RH- Null (aka/Liquid gold! Both of which are commonly referred to as ALIEN Blood
Correction about only mentioning the H antigen in relation to the O blood type. All of the ABO types have the H antigen! It is the "pre-antigen" or as some refer to it, the "ancestor antigen" that A & B antigens are built on. Without the H antigens the A & B antigens would not present. That's the whole basis for Bombay blood type. A person with Bombay type blood has no H antigens. So regardless if A & B genotypes are present in that person, no actual A or B antigens will be produced and so that person will only present as type O. Which is why an additional test for the presence or absence of H antigens is used for double checking a type O result in regions where the Bombay type is known to exist (Mostly in the Indian sub continent and some parts of Iran) to see if the H antigen is present or not. (HH, Hh vs hh) And if the test shows there are no H antigens (hh), then the person is not a true O blood type. Instead the person is the Bombay blood type
What about rh+ and rh- blood? I know they're more of the alien blood types but it would've been nice to hear about them
ua-cam.com/video/tnczwrxP-jc/v-deo.html
SciShow Thanks! I'm glad to see they weren't forgotten about :)
I don't even know anymore oh shit, Teresa
It is not a blood type
It is something blood related
Everyone is either rh- or rh- it is not alien
It is equally as important as the blood type
RH+ and RH- are not blood types. They are a variety on the types that already exist, meaning everyone is either positive or negarive. Personally, I have O RH negative blood. This means I do not have the A or B antigen nor the RH. This means that if I were to need a blood transfusion, I could only receive O negative blood or it would clot in my body. However, anyone can receive O negative blood. It doesn't have antigens and therefore won't cause an autoimmune response and therefore clotting. This is why people with O negative blood are called universal donors. It is the same reason people with AB+ blood are called universal receivers. It doesn't matter what blood type they receive because they possess all the antigens already, so if they receive blood missing antigens, it won't matter because that person's immune system is not encountering any NEW antigens.
As you can see, this is why you hear of blood clinics and hospitals asking specifically for donations of O negative blood constantly. It's because when they need to give someone blood, perhaps because they were in a car crash and nearly died from blood loss, but there's no time to check what type they are, they can be instantly given O neg blood.
Blood type is genetic. A and B types are dominant while O is recessive. So, for me to have O- blood, both my parents would have had to have at least carried it. (they were both O neg coincidentally, meaning myself and my siblings were all O neg since O neg people can't pass on A or B genes). You inherit either A, B, or O from your parents. Someone with type A blood can have the gene for, obviously, A blood but have the other gene for O, but because O is recessive they show as A. This is why someone whose parents are type A and B can be either type A, B, AB or O. However, if one of your parents is AB, you are guaranteed to either inherit type A or B blood from them, meaning you could not possibly be type O.
Many may disagree and many will agree as well, but I feel like Olivia is kind of a lackluster host. It's not because of her physical qualities, but when she says words; they're in one ear and out the other. She is missing a captivating quality that many of the other SciShow hosts have. This isn't to be critical, only to help improve the narrative for all of us.
Unfathomable Jumpshot I actually quite enjoy most of the videos that Olivia is in but to each to their own as long as it doesn't hurt anybody.
Unfathomable Jumpshot yea i agree. it doesn't really stay in my head. cant really focus on what she's saying but i love her as a host
Olivia captivates me every time!
I'm O+ I just signed up as a blood donor december 29th, after the first sample was taken I was told I had a good blood count and would be a good donor if the detailed examination of my blood was positive. I was told if I didn't hear from them within 2 months it was a good sign, so I will soon do my part as a donor.
O+ is great because it can be given to any of the + types (80% of our population) its also the most common blood type (at 38%) so it's in high demand. You can only get blood from O+ or O- (universal donor) blood types however
@@caraRd203 Yeah. One could call 0 the most altruistic blood type, and AB the most egotistical one (as the situation is reversed) XD
I'm just A+ but apparently there's something going on with my platelets and plasma because after I donated blood once while in the military, they asked me if I would donate just those two things as often as possible because whatever it was about them made them extremely good at healing injuries and helping recovery. I've always healed ridiculously fast, if I took a knife and sliced my arm open in a 3 inch line within 2 days it'd look over a week old and within the week it'd just be a smooth scar that looks like it has been healed for a month or more. Only downside I've noticed with it is that due to my spine/back injury I have to routinely get my nerves burnt off to help lessen the constant pain I'm in, it's supposed to last a good chunk of time but my nerves apparently also grow back much quicker than usual and so I don't get the general time frame of relief that others get, and tri-care doesn't care that I heal fast, they'll still only pay for it once every 6 months.
Where are my A+ people at?

Hey, SciShow, do you think you'd be able to create a video teaching about cerebral aneurysms? I had one rupture back when I was 19 and I think it would be great for more people to learn about them!

Ms Gordon, thanks for the excellent and partly new to me information you present in your video . Great job. 🙂
This video just scratches the surface, but its still better than most videos on the topic.
59 year old guy here who has a clotting disorder identical to what Olivia talked about in that Van Willebrand situation. At age 22 had to have a Phlebotomy to drain excess blood circulating in my system. At age 29 had my first MI (heart attack). Over the years have had several DEEP VEIN THROMBIS (blood clots in legs) and PULMONARY EMBOLI (blood clots in lung) in addition to 3 other cardiac episode. I now alternate between oral and injected blood thinning medication.
Really sucks, man... whats yout blood type? I hope you are better?
So scary. I didn't know I had clotting disorders until I started trying to have kids. To stay on point with this video, I'm A+. Are you ?
Good subject for a video; very interesting,
Thank you.
ur voice fry has gotten so much better dude, I actually enjoy watching the vids u narrate now
The army told my son that there was something in his blood that made him immune to malaria. Never heard of that before and never had myself checked, but then I was never deployed to the Mideast either.
I've heard, sickle cell anemia, or traits, helps against malaria...I may be wrong
An absurd number of people still dislike the videos just because of the host.
joseph blake Uh, good? That's actually pretty awful
why don't tey like the host??

Hey Sven,
Do you find her voice annoying?
This is why you don't let human pig chimeras write comments who are growing brains for brain transplants. They're always angry and take it out on Olivia for being on sci-show.

I have also heard that mosquitoes prefer O type blood and I can say that this seems true to me. My wife is type A and I am an O. When we go out in the evenings I get attacked ravenously by mosquitoes but they seem to almost ignore my wife. Same for the small biting midges that we here in Texas call "no see em's" for obvious reasons.
i can verify your hypothesis
My husband and I are just the opposite of you. I am the one that hets bitten, my daughter too. It's the CO2 the mosquitos love.
I am O positive and mosquitos tear me up. They ignore my twin sons who have type A so your hypothesis is the same for us.
Weird, I have O blood and I never get bitten nowadays or at least I don’t have a reaction to it anymore (as a kid I used to)
I believe this. I’m 0 and mosquitoes love me. 😢
i kept waiting to hear the differences and factors in positive vs negative blood types, maybe a part 2?
Yes, they never talk about the H antigen when talking about blood types! It's seemingly unecessary, but it really mixes people up when trying to think of the logic of immune cell function.
So many people are commenting negative things about Olivia, I was so surprised!! I love her voice, it is so calming and easy to listen to
Great job Olivia, as always.
This was really fascinating thank you, scishow!
I would find it interesting if you guys did an episode on Cystic fibrosis, and why it prevents one from getting cholera or typhoid
I have followed the eat right for your blood type diet for over 25 years. It’s interesting to see all the new things that come out about the time in our lives and how we eat end medication as well as illness.
Olivia has come on leaps and bounds. You go, girl.

Another awesome one. Thanks!
A few years ago, I was diagnosed with von willebrand disease after one blood test but then another blood test revealed I don't have the disease but just have relatively low von willebrand factor. The doctor said that people with an O negative blood type like me are more likely to have a low von willebrand factor & they're not sure why.
I get excited when they said Peru!! Peruvian present here, thanks for the video!!
Fascinating, I knew most of this but some was fresh. Thanks.
I love the information presented in this video and I enjoyed the whole thing very much.
I also want to know where I can get Olivia's sweater??? It looks amazing on her and if anyone knows where I can get it (or something similar) I would greatly appreciate it.
I would have liked to hear about the negative and positive aspects of blood types.
Jay Stark like what?
Okay. Look it up?
@@PatttReggg it's a video on blood type. It should've been in it.
Jay Stark bottom line is in America if you’re type O, at least 45% of them, you have it the best. They’re not all whiny, wound-up, and worried about being liked, and have the longest life spans. The most cruel and/or intimidating bosses will always be type O’s. Skin cancer, weird diseases, and ulcers are what kill them the earliest, otherwise they make it to their 80’s and 90’s easily. Type A’s are the ones that fall easiest to heart disease and high blood pressure because they are such sensitive beings. A person with type A blood that makes it into their 90’s is a novelty. Jimmy Carter is one. But most die in their 60’s or 70’s. Type B’s are a mixed bag, mostly 70 or 80-something for them.

Very informative. Thank You.
She has improved SO much! :)
I think I’d read that type O is advantageous with respect to Covid severity and possibly resistance. Idk, but I’ve been working with the public without a break throughout COVID and I’ve been lucky enough to never get it!
I got it and am O+… I had a slight headache, that was it. Rather shocking considering the fact that i get severe pneumonia requiring a hospital stay at least once a year if I’m lucky.
Just had massive pulmonary emboli (blood clots in the lungs) blocking almost all my arteries and they were considering surgery AND on top of that had pneumonia.
So yeah it had to be some sort of thing where covid is unable to get a hold for whatever reason.
Mosquitoes on the other hand… 😂
I presumably (genetics) have type O. I’ve got the vid twice now, but not long covid. Been vaccinated though so. Who can say.
I’m type O+ have had COVID twice but symptoms only lasted a day or 2 I guess. It was never horrible for me!
I'm O and I've had covid 4 times. Luckily not deadly, but I was pretty ill
Both my partner and I are type O (she's O-, I'm O+) and both had COVID. I've had it once and have never been so sick, although I usually don't get anything worse than a cold. She's had it twice, and now has long COVID. Wish it had offered us some protection!

Thanks, very informative
What about having a negative or positive blood type? Do those effect things like disease contraction as well?
Olivia, I really liked how you brought attention to a factor that affects our health that many individuals don't think about. It is important for people to firstly know not only what blood type they have, but to understand what having that certain blood type means. Blood just about everywhere in our body and effects us more than we know. People with type O blood have less clotting factors and are protected against malaria. This may be important for those who are susceptible to malaria, like the population in Africa, to get tested in order to find out what blood type they have in order to take precautionary measures. Also, Americans should be required to know and understand their blood type I believe. Like the video said, those with blood type A, B, or AB are more at risk for heart disease, heart attack, and stroke more than those with type O blood. If I am a person whom eats badly everyday and is overweight with type A, B, or AB blood, this opens my eyes to the increased risks I am putting myself at. I am not saying those with type O blood can eat whatever they want or people with A, B, or AB blood are unhealthy, however, it may help society understand take action against preventable diseases all by understanding and testing what blood type we are.
Let's talk about "preventable" diseases.
Understand this - NO disease is entirely preventable. Why? Genetics is why. Diseases like diabetes run in families, as do disabilities such as ASD & ADD/ADHD. Proven by masses of empirical research.
Like one of the team who wrote the human genetic code. You see he wrote his OWN genome and despite not having a family history of diabetes discovered he had the genes for diabetes - yes, we know where they are. And - post a viral infection - developed - yup, you guessed it, diabetes.
That's because 50% of our susceptibility to disease is due to our genetic inheritance. Yes, that still leaves 50% due to environmental factors BUT these are also often shaped by our parents - our primary care givers during the 1st 5 years of life. And old habits can be real hard to break.
My point is that while eating healthily in moderation and exercise can work to PREVENT conditions like diabetes & cardiovascular disease FROM DEVELOPING - they DON'T ELIMINATE YOUR CHANCES OF GETTING SAME ENTIRELY. Some cancers - like breast & ovarian cancer in women are due 100% to your genetic inheritance - the BRACA 1 & 2 genes specifically. Same with breast & testicular cancer in men. Other cancers of the reproductive organs - so cervical & uterine in women & penile in men - the papilloma virus has been linked, but genetic inheritance is definitely a stronger influencing factor. Bowel, stomach cancer - prolly combination of diet & genes. Skin, lung on the other hand are much more environmentally caused than genetically.
So what I really don't want to see is people blamed and shamed for coming down with certain diseases that it didn't matter WHAT they did - the genetic inheritance was just too strong.
I'm type O neg (not sure what my mom is), but we both naturally cleared Hep w/o meds and are antisemitism to covid, we're also vegetarians..so who knows?? Good DNA maybe?? I come from a long Irish line of alcoholics I'd say maybe it's a trade-off, but she's an alcoholic unfortunately..
I so not get your point. Cos the video just explained, that the blood types effect on heart disease is minimal compared to the life style.
And Africans should get themselves tested?! Have you been to Africa? The largest number of people living on this continent doesn't even have access to a doctor. They are not concerned about their blood type at all. They fight every day to survive, to get food and not see their kids die. They have HIV running around like the common cold is around in the US or Europe. Well, that's maybe a bit stretched, but for parts of the continent it is definitely true.
If you go want everyone to know their blood type, go ahead. Demand a law for it. I don't care. But your perspective is absolutely weird to me.
@@lisastenzel5713 I'd say this is a situation where the person has privilege but cannot check it at the door. Unfortunately. And checking that privilege at the door is something we ALL need to get better at. Unfortunately.
Blood type IS important. I'm type O, so I can take any blood on offer, provided it's also RH- blood. But if your blood type is A, B or AB, well, should you need blood, then the options are a bit more limited. But for most of us - that's where the importance ends. It's only really a thing if you need a blood transfusion or are on the organ transplant list.
Science says your genetics are almost as important as your environment is when it comes to the development of chronic disease. Current thinking sees genetic inheritance as being responsible for 1/3 of your chance of developing chronic disease, with 2/3 being due to environmental factors - at least that's the situation with mental health conditions such as depression & anxiety. Personally speaking - I think it's more like 50/50 split AND they interlock. Because where do we develop our coping skills, our diet - from the same parents who gave us that genetic inheritance!!
AI comment
I enjoy the content. I don't focus on who's hosting or providing the information, because that really doesn't matter. As long as I'm learning something new I'm open to listen to anyone talk.
Olivia, you're my favorite host!
Where is her glasses?!
Sven Servette Is that really necessary to say? She's here to educate you, not to be your eye candy.
Sven Servette I think she looks nice
Alyssa M I know right?! People are getting all offended because they don't think she's attractive or whatever. She's not the host because she 'looks nice'...
No one said her glasses have anything to do with "looking nice". Try again, feminists.
Alyssa M it's a legit question
Okay, so... How does Rhesus (Rh) factor (positive/negative) affect you more than just who you can donate to? Is it just the A/B antigens that have these effects, or does Rhesus factor have its own effects separately from the antigens?
Thanks for the info!!
I have always wondered about the characteristics my blood gives me. Thanks SciShow! 😆
Sometimes I come and don't even listsen to what they're talking about. I just like listening to them in the background.
I would have appreciated more numbers in this episode, like:
"people with 0 blood are 8 times more likely to get hospitalized", 8 times what? 1% for those without 0 type? 10%? 0,05%?
Or "higher rates of heart attacks" for those without 0 type. Higher like what? 1% more than the highest of those? 10%? 40%?
Please don't be so vague. It it's true we can search for these things on our own, but these numbers aren't asking for much if you are already talking about the topic you have researched beforehand.
You are critized enough with the voice of the host (even though unlike others I don't mind that much, I'm rather focused on the content), to add these things on top (more like miss them).
But for the most part, thanks for your research and divulgation on these topics; keep on the good work.
TheNikoNik actually it is better to talk about the ratio between the two groups because the percentage is calculated over the total population but blood types are not equally distributed.
For example if the incidence of a factor over group X is 2% and over group Y is 4% might seem that Y is more affected but if the population is 1/3 group X and 2/3 group Y than everything is normal
Well, in my 2nd example there was no ratio. Also you could give both data (in fact you can easily get ratio out of % comparison, but not so much the other way)
It would be accurate because I'm O and I've been hospitalized a few times and am always sickly.
Well, I for one liked the video. It is interesting, and I could put my attention in the info.
I wanted to know more about + or - blood, but clicking in the video at the end solved my doubts.
Thank you for that info :-)
A priest, an Imam, and a rabbit walk into a Red Cross blood drive. The priest said “I’m a type A”. the Imam said “I’m a type B”. And the rabbit said “I’m a typo”
Having type AB+, I've always seen it as a sort of "selfish" blood type. That is, I can RECEIVE most transfusions but can't donate to just any type.
its too risky if you're recieve all of them from other blood types,make sure if you have ab+,and then you need it,the transfusion have same blood type.I am ab+ btw.
Thank you Olivia.
Cool video, thank you :)
Wow, what the hell? Why are people being such dicks to this excellent host? Internet be crazy.
Sexism is a pretty funny thing, conscious or otherwise.
esthetics and taste
doubt it.
Doug sillig you should see jakes Paul’s song every day bro, you’ll be shocked
I’d hit that
good thing I have no blood type
So, what is your oil weight? :)

I dont really get the reason why people dislike this woman. Can someone who pressed the dislike button just because of that fact explain why they did, I am actually legitimately curious as to what the driving factor is (pun because this episode was about rh factor)
I think she is very informative and a great speaker, minus all that hand movement. I had to put my hand over the screen to block those hands while she was speaking…. 🫢
That’s exactly what I was going to say!!! Her twitchy hand movements were so distracting I couldn’t focus as much on what she was saying 😮
I didn't even notice.
Thank you much honey!
Really interesting information hopefully I’ll circle back around to it another time but I keep trying to focus and listen and I’m not receiving diddly. My brain is just not absorbing like anything so maybe I oughta go to sleep and try again later
I love the host! So hard for people to accept anyone other than Hank (who truly is amazing as is his brother, John). But there's something quirky about her. :) Like she's still powering through irrespective of the juvenile complaints / comments. I like the jumping, hand gestures and mismatched earrings. You are just being you. Thank you!
Informative video though I would have liked it more if you touched upon Rhesus factor as well.
As a Brit, I find both of their voices very abrasive 😖
She looks different without her glasses.
As with everyone. Get used to it.
Mars Violet woahhh no need to be so passive aggressive
ThunderGun2 I wonder why...

I bet she's trying a new more "attractive" look after reading all the negative feedback she gets on the videos she hosts.
It looks like she has a flashdrive hanging off her ear.
Thanks for bringing up von Willebrand Factor, I have its corresponding disease, vW disease. I have problems with blood clotting. It's a little known ailment, maybe make a video about it??
very good speaker person. like her a lot.
also, so interesting about the blood types - i had no idea 🤷🏽♀️ now, though, i have to look up antigens cause i don’t remember what are ???? 🤭
the Hypochondriac in me became very active after watching this video..
I’m RH negative. I remember the injection I had to have after my first child was born.
Usefull for me. Thanks mam.
very interesting!
OK, who want to start a band named The Von Willebrand factor with me.
Ok.... but what does the + or - in your blood type mean???
it's the rhesus factor en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rh_blood_group_system
It’s an added protein called the Rhesus factor.
The haaaaands!!!!! Very informative regardless.
Yea! No glasses shadow! I know it's such a small thing, but it was REALLY distracting. Love you guys!
