Can you catch hepatitis c if you use a toilet paper that have blood on it and you have a hemorrhoid that is bleeding.if there is risk what is the percentage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many things possible: But, people do not catch Hep C from toilet paper, toilet seats, or any other part of a bathroom. People who have hepatitis C often don't know where they caught it from. The types of hepatitis that one can catch from a toilet are A and E. That is because types A and E viruses are in the poop, poop splashes onto toilet seats, people touch toilet seats with their fingers, and fingers touch mouths
