A member asked:
My husband had blood drawn this morning & when he removed the bandage there is a thin red line about an inch long going down his arm should we worry?

Maybe: It's way too early to think about an infection, but if you are worried you should definitely show it to his doctor. If he develops swelling, pain, pus, fever/chills, or other strange symptoms, these are signs of infection and he should be seen urgently. Good luck.
