• Question: If you donate blood to a blood hospital, would they ever mix it with another to make a new mix?

      Hi Ell4

      They do a lot of things with blood. soetimes they separate it out into different bits (like plasma), sometimes they use it for science away from immediately saveing people’s lives, and sometimes it gets transfused straight into a patient. When it is transfused as long as it is the right type (O, A, B positve and negative) they will use blood from different people on the same patient.

      My blood type is A+. Do you know what yours is?
