Can glass in foot get into bloodstream?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, Infection can...: Glass in the foot does not directly get into the bloodstream, but an infection that can occur from the wound and the introduction of bacteria, can cause an infection and the infection can travel into the bloodstream.
