A blood donation pop-up where you can find out your blood type, at the Auckland Museum next weekend, is a handy partner to brand new international exhibition Bloodsuckers: Legends to Leeches.
Here the extraordinary role blood plays in nature, medicine and mythology is explored through natural science, history and pop culture.
Susie is joined by Norma Henry - Exhibition Project Manager for the Ontario Museum where Bloodsuckers has travelled from, and Scott Sinclair, from the New Zealand Blood Service.
