Here in the DC area, the supply of O+ blood (the 'universal' type) is almost completely depleted.
If you're eligible, please donate. If you don't know if you can, then please call your local Red Cross or hospital for information.
The pool of eligible doners was slashed in the last few years as tens of thousands of people (many military) were removed from the rolls because of possible mad cow exposure in Europe. Your help is really needed.
