AB- is the rarest when it comes to the percentage of people with this type. However, O- is the purest and can be effectively given to anyone, Rh positive or Rh negative, regardless of blood type.
I don't know where some of this misinformation comes from.
So O is the "purest" because it is the most common and can be given to most people. Ahhh....Hmmm.
Well I dont know where your information came from, but mine came from the American Red Cross and International Rare Blood type registry.
I have NEVER seen any blood being referred to as "the most pure" as this sounds rediculous.
Oh and btw, someone needs to stretch their sarcasm detection muscle, I think yours might be off kilter.

AB are known as "universal recipients" O type are known as universal donors.

If so, bollocks. "purity" of blood is crap. It sounds like you're O- and somehow feel you can make YOUR OWN statement (implying it's a fact) that type O- is the most "pure" because it's Universal giver. If so, LMAO.
