Roughly 7% of the population has blood type O negative. The odds of receiving the wrong blood type during a transfusion are pretty rare - only about 1 in every 14,000 transfusions. Basically, your body's immune system can attack the cells in the transfused blood, destroying the red cells or platelets within the transfused blood. Reactions can vary from mild to severe and may include fever and chills.
