i got hurt, a cut which was bleeding.from a door handle which already had some blood from the person who was using the toilet prior to me. I was in the queue of the toilet and as the person came out, i went.
that time was only 30 seconds.

The only question I want to ask is that is there any tiny or small risk at all from this king of exposure.
