    Question for ye. I had an experience lately where a fresh cut on my knee mixed with (a lot of) blood on the leg of my trousers. Last night, i got a tetanus, and had blood taken. The Doctor told me that it's on the low risk scale of things, but never gave me a straight answer as to what i can and can't do.

    Is there a chance of contaminating herself through kissing, using the same glass, cutlery, do i have to sleep in a seperate bed, etc?

    All the Doctor said was be careful...

    Think this would be more suited to the Health Sci board than here. But from what I understand it is not past from person to person rather the spores infect open wounds...

    Having said that, we can't give medical advice etc etc etc

    I'd speak to your doctor again and get medical confirmation on this. Give them a call.
