My aunt bleed out and died in my uncles arms. Her blood was all over him. She had had sepsis about amonth before this happened. Should we be concerened about him contracting sepsis from her blood?

Answer 1

Depending on the organism, sepsis usually isn't transmittable. Sepsis is an infection that has spread to the bloodstream and moves throughout the body affecting all systems. If your uncle had cuts or open wounds where the blood came in contact, then I would watch for signs and symptoms of infection at those sites (red streaking, drainage, foul odor, etc). If your uncle is healthy then he should be fine.
