Is it possible to contract herpes from a cpr dummy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but...: If you perform CPR on a dummy that has not had the mouth part cleaned immediately after someone with oral herpes performed cpr, yes. If cleaned properly, the likelyhood of acquiring it drops of drastically. I would always clean off the mouth of a CPR dummy!
