Blood is hazardous because of bloodborne pathogens. A person can contract Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and HIV/AIDS from contact with blood through any mucous membrane such as their eyes, nose, mouth and broken skin. In doctors offices and hospitals blood is considered a biohazard. First responders such as police, paramedics and firemen are very careful when dealing with blood at a scene. Housekeeping personnel in some cases and even YOU can be in a situation where blood is a factor and should not be taken lightly. If you happen to be the first person on the scene of an accident where someone is bleeding and you choose to help them, call for help FIRST (police, paramedics, 911, etc.) then use clean rubber gloves if available to protect yourself. More information can be found by doing a web search for "bloodborne pathogens". You may even consider a Red Cross training course on CPR, first aid and bloodborne pathogens to learn more and make yourself prepared.
