Hep C Bandaid question
Hey guys, I've been OCD about this in the past but I have a situation. Doing laundry, some clothes fell on a used band aid on the ground. My dad has hep c, and I'm not entirely sure who's band aid it was. I was worried that drying those clothes with others in the dryer could possibly spread hep c. My work hat was in there, and as I work in the food industry I was concerned about the customers primarily.
Just to add has you father looked into getting treatment? There are new medicines approved in the last couple of years that are much more effective and better tolerated than the medicines previously available.
Cure rates are as high as 98% or better and treatment could be as simple as one pill a day for 8 or 12 weeks and your dad could be cured.
For your question I agree with Clementine whole heartily you have zero risk.

There is absolutely zero risk to you in that situation. In fact, with all due respect, you might want to consider talking with a counselor to get over your medical anxiety.
