Answer 2

Speak me,

There are not many diseases that type Os have that other types do not, because most diseases don't invade or multiply only in the blood. The positive rh factor makes no difference at all.

Now, there are a couple of diseases that are more prevalent in one of the blood types, but that is a statistical difference only, and no guarantee that someone with a specific blood type will or will not get a disease.

The reason is that blood types are "types" because of certain antigens on blood cells--not just on red blood cells, either--markers which are called "markers" because they really do "mark" that blood type as different from others. These antigens are the reason that Type Bs cannot donate blood to type As, or the type A recipient will attack the B blood cells and the resulting damage can cause kidney failure and in a small percentage of cases, death.

There are over three hundred of these antigens at last count, and some of them are medically significant. That is, more of one type will get one disease, but the other blood types will get that disease, too. A blood type will not prevent a disease. The antigens on the surfaces of blood cells will provoke an attack on cells with different proteins, but the attack is not foolproof or always overwhelming, however. If the invading cells have proteins similar to the blood type's own proteins, the response can be very sluggish.

This works out in this way:

Type Bs, since they do not have antigens against B-looking proteins on the surfaces of cells (or else they would attack themselves) will much less quickly and forcefully attack bacteria covered with B-like proteins, which is why B-type people are more susceptible to bubonic plague.

Os, for the same reason, are more likely to get ulcers (the proteins on the cells of the H. pylori bacterium are very similar to the Lewis antigens already in their blood), cholera, and the parvo virus which causes anemia.

This has been known since the 1950s.

However, it would be too strong to say that these are diseases "associated" with blood type O, because too many people of all blood types get these diseases. there are other factors at work besides the proteins in the blood.

So while we can say that there are a few diseases that some blood types get at a higher rate than other blood types, we really can't say that some blood types are associated with some diseases that other blood types are not. It's only a statistical difference, not a health difference.

Answer 3

Here is a website that explains the different blood groups and the diseases that affects different blood groups.

Answer 4

I have had o pos. blood for 53 years and the only thing I had was an aetral-ceptal defect in my heart at birth which had nothing to do with my blood. It is a common thing. It happens with all blood types.

Answer 5

Your blood group does not determine whether you should eat meat or not. You don't need to have meat in your diet, as others have said, just make sure you get the nutrients you miss out from meat in other foods.

Answer 8

what makes you think that people with o pos blood have different diseases than someone with b pos?????

Answer 9

Cholera offers a huge selective disadvantage to Blood Type O. Effectively speaking, Blood Type O is almost guaranteed to be the blood type that gets the most severe form of this once dreaded epidemic infection. It has been speculated that the low incidence of Type O over Type A in Mediterranean cities with ancient roots may in fact have been the selective effect of Type O people dying more frequently from cholera. The constant selective pressure of cholera against Type Os may account in part for the extremely low prevalence of Type O genes and the high prevalence of Type B genes found among the people living in the Ganges Delta in India. Type ABs appear to have the highest degree of protection from cholera infections.Worse for Type Os, their outcome after infection is poor. In a household survey conducted in Trujillo, Peru, in 1991, at the onset of a Latin American cholera epidemic, Type O was strongly associated with severe cholera: Infected persons had more diarrhea-like stools per day than persons of other blood groups, were more likely to report vomiting and muscle cramps, and were almost eight times more likely to require hospital treatment. In an independent study, similar findings were reported. Individuals with the most severe diarrhea compared with those with asymptomatic infection were more often Type O.

Group AB may be associated with the lowest risk and least severe symptoms.

Type O and cholera: This 'interaction' between the type O antigen and a bacterial toxin may also help explain why type O's have been strongly associated with severe attacks of the debilitating and life-threatening intestinal infection, cholera. You don't hear much about cholera these days, as modern public health measures in the industrialized countries have pretty much eradicated it. However cholera still accounts for enormous numbers of deaths (diarrhea is the number one cause of death worldwide) and as little as 100 years ago was common in the slums of many modern cities, such as London and New York. In ancient times cholera epidemics routinely decimated large cities. Several highly lethal plagues which were the scourge of the Roman world are now though to have been in fact cholera.

A household survey conducted in 1991, at the onset of a Latin American cholera epidemic, investigated high attack rates in Trujillo, Peru. (1) Blood group O was strongly associated with severe cholera: Infected persons had more diarrhea-like stools per day than persons of other blood groups, were more likely to report vomiting and muscle cramps, and were almost eight times more likely to require hospital treatment.

It has been speculated that the low incidence of type O over type A in Mediterranean cities with ancient roots may in fact have been the selective effect of type O dying more frequently from infectious diseases, such as cholera.

The constant selective pressure of cholera against people of O blood group may account in part for the extremely low prevalence of O group genes and the high prevalence of B group genes found among the people living in the Ganges Delta in India. (2) Mourant has also speculated that the effect of endemic cholera infection may also be responsible for the low numbers of type O inhabitants of ancient Mediterranean cities. (1) If so, this would imply that differences between the blood types in surviving the common and lethal infections found in the prehistoric and ancient world were powerful and selective influences on their distribution in different populations.

Individuals with the most severe diarrhea compared with those with asymptomatic infection were more often of blood group O (68% versus an expected frequency of 36) and less often of AB (0% versus an expected frequency of 7). In essence, cholera patients were twice as likely to have blood group O and one-ninth as likely to have blood group AB.
