While it may so far seem that those with type O blood don’t have any medical concerns, this is not really the case. Studies have shown that people in the type O group are at higher risk of developing peptic and duodenal ulcers compared to those in the other groups. Peptic ulcers are painful open sores that develop in the stomach lining and upper intestine. There is an enhanced binding of Helicobacter pylori to epithelial cells in individuals belonging to the type O blood group.
