A member asked:
Could cutting yourself with a never been used staple from the inside of a cd case booklet give you an infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: It is not just germs on the staple that are the issue. Once there is a break in the skin it is a portal for other germs to enter after the injury occurred.
