A member asked:

What will happen to someone with rh negative blood type if he/she receives rh positive blood?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May get sick: If the person has antibodies against the Rh antigen, they are likely to break down the blood fast and this may make them ill and a bit jaundiced.
