i’ll be honest, i’ve shared this before đ but i feel like this deserves to be shared again! think of it like a throwback thursday … on weds đ
#tdil that there’s a dude out there who has saved around 2 million babies due to his blood donations! đą
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!
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
