what is the chance of spread of hepatitis through food contaminated with blood
hello well the whole blood and serum white fluid within blood contains large amount of virus and virus can live on blood spots outside the human body for the duration of one week so actually it depends upon how much blood and how much time it has been on the stain that can determine the chances of acquiring infection if contaminated with food so I guess my answer can be partially answering your query if you tell me the exact event I may be in a better position to tell you the figures otherwise as a general rule hepatitis does not spread via food having said that it can still spread if blood contaminated food has been ingested since virus invades the human body when comes in close to mucosa lining of our mouth and then spread to blood within human this happens in the same way as one infected person can transmit infection via kissing hugging sharing of a towel spoon plates and so on if you are puzzled with all that information I want you to simply get a blood test for hepatitis infection it is a simple blood test that can give us a clue I hope this helps post exposure risk stratification hepatitis surface antigen hepatitis core total follow up after testing
hello doctor is there any chance of hepatitis spread through eating food contaminated with infected blood
