What happens if someone receives a blood transfusion of the wrong blood type?

It depends on the your blood type and on the type of blood the person receives. An ABpos person can
receive any and all blood types as they are known as "universal recipients". They lack anti A and
anti B in their blood. The "universal donor" is type O neg, meaning anyone can receive this blood
type without bad consequences. This type of blood is given to trauma patients where you don't know
the persons blood type and it is needed right away. If you are Rh negative and receive Rh positive
blood nothing much will happen immediately and you will develop antibodies down the road. Rh
negative blood is more rare so when we run out of that type then we switch to Rh positive blood. An
A person can not receive B blood or and O person can not receive A or B blood. The destruction of
blood can lead to fatal reactions. No exceptions.
