Gloves
Hi i wore some rubber gloves(yellow type for washing plates) and as i have bad excema some blood might have got onto the inside of the gloves, a member of my famil used them about 20 mins later and she had a cut on here hand(she was using the gloves to protect her cut) would my blood have been a risk to her. the reason i ask is because the gloves are airtight and some air would have been trapped inside the glove maybe preserving the blood. Also are rubber gloves a good barrier when im doing washing up or should i get something more durable?
this really happened, im not trying to be creative lol. The reason i posted was because pockets of air get caught in teh gloves and i thought the virus could survive in those vaccuums.
