and stuff along that nature that scrathes, little
cuts
Cuts and puncture wounds
and scraps and stuff like that are at no risk. You said that they have to be large, big or deep
cuts
Cuts and puncture wounds
or
cuts
Cuts and puncture wounds
that would require stitches. Why is that so. Does transmission require a lot of blood or just the tinniest drop.

pecha, if you have a small
cut
Cuts and puncture wounds
what happens? You bleed out, correct? Blood runs down your arm, leg, whatever. On large deep
cuts
Cuts and puncture wounds
you can have a massive cut with little to no bleeding and a gapping wound. The mixing of blood with tissue can then take place.
