Title: transmission possible?
Post by: winkawak on June 22, 2018, 04:26:22 pm
I went fishing with a friend of mine who aslo brought 2 friends of his whom i never met. Long story short i had a minor cut about 2mm long minor bleeding. I rinsed my cut in my live bait bucket i was using only later came to find out one of my friends friend also had a minor cut/bleeding and rinsed his cut in the same bucket before i used to rinsed my cut.

The bucket had about 3 gallon of water with air pump circulating the water in the bucket. Whats my risk having my cut in the bucket that was previously used by another person who also washed his cut in ?

There is no data available for your situation so there is no way to even guess but I seriously doubt there was any any risk.

If concerned wait 12 weeks and have the antibody test.
