A member asked:
What can i get if i get in contact with blood from my cat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very unlikely: Mere contact with cat's blood should not pose a great threat of infection. However, if cat's blood splashed to open wound or mucous membranes, it would be prudent to cleanse thoroughly the affected area(s).
