I took this from a small FB board, but I'm curious how it will apply on a larger scale (also posting it on the Ostomy Board):

I'm conducting an informal survey. I recently read somewhere that your blood type can make you more susceptible to certain diseases. I'm interested to see if this is the case. Please respond with your blood type . Let's see if the studies I've read are true.

I don't know my blood type, I sheepishly confess.

I know this question has been posted a few times before over the 4 (really? 4 years???) years that I've been coming here so if you want to gather more data you could do a search and see if you can find those threads.

If I recall correctly, I'm AB+ but I also do not believe in this theory.
