A member asked:
Is it possible to get blind from having someone else's blood in your eye?

NO: Blood splash incidents will likely not make you blind but there is a possibility of bloodborne transmission of diseases such as hepatitis and hiv. Wash your eye out, see your doctor for prophylactic treatment if indicated.

No: But there is a very small risk of acquiring diseases that spread through the blood.
