A member asked:
I had blood drawn from a vein 2 or so hours ago and was wondering if it's safe to swim? could the vein get infected in the pool?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Safe: Almost all blood draw puncture sites stop bleeding in a minute or less. Unless you are still bleeding for some reason, it's perfectly safe to go swimming.
