How much of blood can cause someone an infection? ex hep c?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It does'nt take much: Virus particles, such as hep c are very small, and a drop of blood could potentially have many many viruses in it. For people with hep c, it is recommended to not share toothbrushes, drink glasses, and essentaillly avoid body fluid contact, etc.
