Ok, so at work today some guy came in, and I saw he was covered in tattoos. I like tattoos so I asked him where he had his work done. He told me his friend does them for him in his basement. I asked if his friend uses an autoclave, and this guy said "a what?" which made me realize he knows about nothing as far as safe sterilization in tattooing.
Anyway, he was in the gym I work at today, ahd he told me he had his forearm worked on last night. It was hard to tell, because from what I could see, I didnt see any blood coming out. He sat at the protein shake bar to talk a few minutes and his tattoo touched the bar and I didnt see any blood.
Anyway, he bought some stuff, and i scrubbed my hands after handling his money.
My worry is going to work tomorrow. Should I be really worried about what I touch? The guy who came in after me is friends with the guy, so I dont know if he touched stuff that the guy touched. Then went back and touched the mouse on the work computer.
As you can tell, I am a hypchondriac when it comes to Hepatitis. Does this all sound like something I should be worried about? Or would it only be if he was leaving visially noticeable blood or bodily fluid marks behind?
Would the tattoo he got the night before, be likely to leave hepatitis around the gym? Would I be likely to get it, or atleast infect my hands or clothes by touching something he may have?
I asked if it was bleeding at all, and he just said "Last night it was".
I am really scared of cross contamination. Any advice would be very helpful! Thanks!
