Blood in blood banks spoil after 40 days. Millions of people donate blood every day, but about 1.3 million pints of donated blood spoil every year. You have been taught that there are just 4 types of blood group A, B, AB and O. But ABO isn’t the only blood grouping system. There are currently 33 systems recognized by the International Society of Blood Transfusion There are blood groups called "Lutheran," "Duffy," "Hh/Bombay," "Ok," etc. From the attached image, oxygenated blood is the one with bright red, while dexoygenated blood is dark reddish. For instance, When spilled blood get to the ground or a surface it starts to turn darker and darker as it dries and its hemoglobin breaks down into a compound called methemoglobin. #AoKfacts #Oplum #facts #fact
