cuts on hand- contact with blood
I assisted someone who had a bleeding gash on his forehead. I got some blood on my hands. I also noticed two paper cuts/cuts (about 1 day old.) Neither cut bleeds, but I can see pink skin when I spread them open. I am unsure as to whether or not blood came into contact with the cuts, but I am worried.
Contact immediately? What do you mean?I don't mean to sound stupid, but I am a bit worried. Also, laceration - meaning my cuts were not bleeding?
