When you're asked for your blood type, could you tell whoever is asking for certain what it is?

A new survey was done and believe it or not, fifty-one percent of Americans know their blood type. That means a whopping forty-nine percent don't know their blood type!

Next question asked, what is your horoscope sign? Sixty-six percent of Americans know their horoscope sign! Think it's safe to say that if you were in a life or death emergency and asked what you blood type was, you'd be in a tough situation! And telling them your horoscope sign won't save you either.

If you're going into surgery or have a procedure, then the doctors will order a test to find out what your blood type is, but it's not something you can just call your doctor and ask.

Now this survey also asked who they get their health advice from and sadly twenty-two percent of the people said "social media influencers!" Probably something you shouldn't do either. Especially since the "social media influencers" don't know your blood type!

We have more on this story and more in today's Editions of a Few Things You Should Know!

When you get your blood word, your doctor will put in a request to know blood type. Then they'll have it on file for whenever you call for it.

Twenty-Two Percent of Americans Get Health Care Advice From "Social Media Influencers"

It's sad that this is even a thing, but let's STOP! "Social media influencers" shouldn't be your main source of medical advice. There are a bunch medical professionals on social media giving advice, but it's still best to get your info from your doctor directly!
