A member asked:
My friend stepped on a cockroach in the same room as me, is it possible for their eggs to spread on to me or my shoes?

Not likely: While it is certainly possible to contaminate your feet on a cockroach or its eggs, it is highly unlikely than any egg would survive on your feet or in your shoes. To be safe, wash your feet with soap and water and take alcohol and clean out your shoes. That should be enough to more than protect you.

I stepped on a dead mouse inside my friends house. It had eaten poison so it was dead... It only touched my shoe but should I be concerned?
If i stepped on what appeared to be blood at the pediatrician's office by accident, could i get HIV or spread it to my family on the bottom of my shoe?
Dried blood was on a floor and people walked on it then elsewhere. I feel that spread a std to the rest of the floor. I didnt step on it but i walked on the same floor.I feel like I'm spreading it.Could an std be on my shoe that im spreading?
