Anti-inflammatory condition would be suitable then, as inflammation turns blood vessels 'fuzzy' and causes blood components to stick like velcro.

It seems that the most rare blood types (AB and rhesus negative) are the least healthy. While the common one (rhesus positive and O) are the most robust.

The way I see it, AB requires more maintenance to stay healthy, not that they're inherently less healthy. Clotting factor is a double edged sword. On one hand the healing is fast, but if the body is sick, the healing capability works inwards and can cause more harm than good if said individual stays sick for a long time.

AB tends to be pretty rare unless it's Asia for the most part, probably because it causes pregnancy complications in women unless they are AB-type themselves. We take it for granted that immunoglobulin shots exist, something that, in its absence, would cause a ton of miscarriages due to incompatibility.

Maybe? It's an interesting idea at least. Either way, I'm happy I don't have AB blood and just 'good old' O+ blood.

I've got AB+. Blood type is nothing to really worry about from a health standpoint, but it should be understood that people are not interchangeable and should not be treated the same. Everyone has their own specific needs.

You know what my additional maintenance need is to thrive compared to my peers? More water and more heme-iron rich food. The additional demand is not huge.

That's what you think. I find that being TWICE as likely to develop neurological/memory problems than all the other blood types is quite inferior.
