Am i overthinking? someone with hep b had a bloody tissue in their pocket. they put it in the bin. should they have put their trousers in the wash too? what if someone touches their trousers now? would they get hep b?

Yes, you are overthinking as transmission of hepatitis B is highly unlikely in described circumstances.Cleanliness and regular hygiene is different and traditional rules apply in order to decrease transmission of other viruses and bacteria.

If you are so concerned about Hep B infection, get Hep B vaccine. 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!
