A member asked:

Dried snot in wall of restaurant bathroom, the snot was blood tinged at edges but appeared dried. if my toddler touched it could she get a disease?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It depends...: Avoidance of inappropriate contact with body fluids is of absolute importance, the risk of infection will depend on a lot of factors. At the least I hope your baby has received all childhood recommended vaccinations. If she only touched and has no open wound and did not put her soiled finger in her mouth then a thorough hand washing with soap and water will prove protective....
