Could you tell me what happens if you wash blood off your hands with hot water?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cleansing: It will help to remove it, especially when used with soap. It has to do with hydrophilic & hydrophobic properties. Ensure that you wash for at least the lenght of time that it takes to sing the abc song.
