The three rarest blood types in the world are:
- AB-Negative: This blood type is found in less than 1% of the population.
- B-Negative: This blood type is found in about 1-2% of the population.
- A-Negative: This blood type is found in about 6-7% of the population.
These blood types are considered rare because they have a combination of specific antigens and antibodies, making them less common than other blood types.
Here are some interesting facts about rare blood types:
- People with rare blood types are often called universal donors because their blood can be safely given to individuals with a wider range of blood types.
- Individuals with rare blood types may face challenges finding compatible blood donors in emergencies.
- Blood banks maintain registries of individuals with rare blood types to ensure that donors are available when needed.
