thanks!well no fresh,so i am calmer.i just dont understand this virus transmission maybe - e.g. if he touched the stain then rubbed eye or picked nose?if i think in this way then danger is everywhere.. or am i too paranoid? (he is not vaccinated yet) thanx so much!

Possibilities cannot be denied anywhere but the way of transmission u r mentioning is very rare provided ur son had fresh abrasions leaky one or old dry abrasions. But still chances are low but not zero.
