Hepatitis C from Food Handlers

If some one infected with Hepatitis C, got minor cut on his hand and just few drops of blood come out his skin and later on he started washing Rice in order to **** the rice but at the time of washing the rice there is no bleeding from his hand and cut is too minor. So whether the Hepatitis C virus can infect the cocked rice and all those person who eat those rice. please guide me, I am in worries.

You have a very active imagination. This is a very far fetched scenario.
Hep C is spread from blood to blood contact.

Many of us have had the virus for years and years without knowing it yet our close family never contacted it.

I hope this puts your mind to rest. If not, I suggest you get help for your anxiety.
