Scientists in France have identified a new blood type. This blood type is called 'Gwada negative'. It is found in a 68-year-old woman from Guadeloupe. Her blood reacted to all known donor types. Genetic sequencing revealed a unique mutation. She can only receive her own blood. Researchers are searching for others with this rare blood type in the Caribbean.

    This new blood type is a mix of red blood cells and microplastics. /s

    That’s pretty dumb, considering all the others are sensible 1-2 letters.

      There are about 47 known blood types, and they are not all just 1-2 letters.

        48. But the ABO and Rh systems are still the main categories.
