A member asked:
Can i catch hepatitis b through touching a red bag (dissolvable for the laundry) that had a garment with hepatitis b blood on it inside?

No, as no direct contact with fresh blood with active, bleeding wounds on your hands can be established. Using gloves would take care of hepatitis transmission and related anxiety and good hand hygiene for all others viruses and bacteria.

As suggested before, given your paranoia about Hep B, get Hep B vaccine. It is effective. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
