Okay, someone, even a rock star bleeding on you is so yuck and unhealthy it just...gah. I've had like 4 hours of classes in my training that amounted pretty much to "OMG DON'T TOUCH BLOOD!"
Even assuming said blood letting person doesn't know he has a disease and just doesn't care, which is a pretty big assumption (not even maliciously, a lot of people, even intelligent people, simply DON'T know how easily disease can pass through blood. Apperantly.) there's also all the possibilities of said bleeder not realizing he has a disease, or not realizing it's passable through blood, or that it's dormant in him...and just...way to many "Maybes" to be doing something that dangerous with. A lot of people seem to think a little blood won't do anything...because, you know, cells aren't tiny little things that can be contained by the thousands in one drop of blood :/
It's not a matter of "That's gross" it's a matter of "That's fuckin dangerous."
...this isn't meant to be a rant journal. Sorry it has been so far...
