Chemotherapy patients are advised against gardening, planting or any form of contact with soil.  The soil in the pots is a huge source of bacteria and mold, which presents an unnecessary danger to the patient. Removing indoor houseplants and flowers are also advised because these items tend to shed mold in the air and can be a source of infection. It is also important to not keep cut flowers inside the house because the water in the vases can harbor infectious bacteria and can evaporate in the air and spread to the patient.

Which blood type can be transfused into a patient who has blood type A–?
Oksana_A [137]

For a person with blood type A- (A negative),  they can be transfused with either  blood type A negative  , or blood type O negative.

This is because any other blood type will immediately be rejected by their body.

A person with blood type A negative has got antibodies against any other blood type which has a rhesus positive factor as well as antibodies against  any other blood type of a different group such as B and AB, even if they are  rhesus negative.

Therefore because of the rhesus negative factor, a person with blood type A negative  can only be transfused with rhesus negative .
