A member asked:

My nail tech cut my cuticle twice. wasn't a deep cut, but there was a little blood. should i be worried about contracting any blood related illness. she applied a liquid to stop the bleeding. she said tools were sterilized and continued my service?

If the shop is licensed with inspections, a blood related disease resulting is unlikely since sterilization of tools is generally a mandatory requirement.

Blood transmitted diseases are extremely unlikely in above described circumstances, a superficial infection remains possible and watching the area until healed is recommended.
