Hepatitis- Wash own body with bleach
Sorry for my poor english. I was diagnosticated of Chronic HEP B two weeks ago. I have read in internet that household bleach kills the virus. So the last weeks when i touched my own semen or blood i washed up my hands and face with 1:10 bleach with water. My hands are now realy damaging. Is it right to wash parts of my body with bleach. Please, i'm very worried, cause i dont want to transmit the virus to anyone.
I washed my shoes and rubbed them with bleach, i got bleach all over my hands. When I trid to wash my hands the bleach wont go away. Will my liver fail now?
No, you shouldn't wash you body or face with bleach. You won't transmit the virus to anyone if you are careful - but you should never use bleach on your skin. That will be absorbed into your body - anything that touches the skin and then the liver acts as a filter.
You can use bleach solution on your sink if you bleed while shaving though.
