Blood stain on clothes after being washed is the blood still harmful ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Only to the clothes: Such a stain can ruin a perfectly good piece of clothing. However, there's nothing else to worry about. Modern detergents, with or without our awesome washer/dryers, are excellent in getting rid of infectious germs.
