To Teak and others

Teak ive read before that you said that for open cuts and stuff along that nature that scrathes, little cuts and scraps and stuff like that are at no risk. You said that they have to be large, big or deep cuts or cuts 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 what happens? You bleed out, correct? Blood runs down your arm, leg, whatever. On large deep cuts 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.
