B- BLOOD NEEDED

[gothwalk]

There's an email starting to spread across Ireland, asking anyone who has the B- blood type to get in touch with Vincent Boyer at happyvincent@netscape.net. I've just checked with him, and the request is genuine - a friend of his has leukemia, and the Blood Transfusion Board can't find anyone with the right blood type. So if you're in Ireland - or in Europe, for that matter - and have the right blood type, please contact Vincent at the above address. If you haven't, please pick this up and spread it on, on mailing lists (where on-topic or allowed), on blogs and journals, and so on. There are 4 million people in Ireland, and many more in Europe, someone must be B-.

I'm a bit surprised by that, and am wondering how hard they've looked. Two members of my family (including me) are B- , and neither of us have heard anything from them recently. For various reasons I can't donate at the moment, but they don't know that, and haven't mailed me.

From a recent discussion with a IBTS person, it appears that it's not as simple as just being B-, there's a load of other factors that need to match up, so that might be where the problem is coming from.
