Blood Types: How to Find Out Yours #

Many people are unaware of their blood type, with only 62% of Americans reporting knowledge of their blood type. Knowing your blood type is crucial in emergencies, as compatibility is limited among different types. Accidental incompatible blood transfusions can be dangerous. There are several ways to find out your blood type. You can check with your parents or consult old health records. Healthcare providers and local clinics may have the information on file. Blood tests can be requested or purchased online, and at-home blood tests or saliva tests can help determine your blood type.
