Can getting dried blood from a public restroom cause infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Infection Panic: No. But that cannot be 100%. I do not know what you did with the blood or if it somehow got into your blood stream directly. But, dried blood usually means dead everything. But you are right to know that blood can carry hiv, hepatitis b and c.
