A member asked:

I cut myself with a kitchen knife, while preparing lunch. if a small amount of blood from the knife got onto the peperoni/cheese, could it infect somebody who ate it with something like hepatitis? hope i'm panicking for nothing, but thanks in advance?

No. Transmission of hepatitis A result from ingestion of food contaminated with fecal excretion, whereas hepatitis B & C from contact with infectious body fluids, not by ingestion.
