i’ve just been to give blood! đ it was certainly an experience …
… especially the almost fainting bit that occurred afterwards đ – i just like to be noticed đ¤ˇđģââī¸đ
#tdil that there’s a dude out there who has saved around 2 million babies due to his blood donations! đą
of course it had to be a blood donor-inging fact today đđģ and what better than a donor-ing fact about a guy who is possibly a legit superhero?! đ
(just so you know, i’m aware blood donor-inging isn’t a word … but i like it, so … đđģââī¸)
anyway, let’s get on with it shall we? the hero’s name is james “the man with the golden arm” harrison and, as you read up there âŦī¸, he has saved the lives of around 2 million babies đđģ
when you consider that they say the average person can save around 1000 people through donating blood, james is really overachieving đ
the reason for his lifesaving ability is a super rare blood type that is rich in an antibody called ‘anti-d immunoglobulin’ đ … something that is required to help babies with rhesus disease đĸ
rhesus disease causes the mother’s immune system to attack the fetus’ blood cells as it treats them as invaders … this can cause the fetus to have a heart attack âšī¸
the anti-d immunoglobulin in james’ blood can prevent this from happening đ and subsequently save the baby’s life đđģ
actually amazing đ the dude is totally a superhero đ doing his bit for sure! i feel super proud about my interesting blood giving experience … so i can only imagine how he feels!
i think everyone should feel like this and totes do their bit … so, go forth and give blood people! it’s easy and pretty chill and a little scary but there are free biscuits and you get a good feeling and it’s actually good for your heart đ
