Hepatitis viruses, particularly Hepatitis B and C, can potentially spread through contact with infected blood. If a scratch is deep enough to draw blood and comes into contact with the blood of an infected person, there is a risk of transmission. However, the risk is significantly lower compared to direct blood-to-blood contact or other more common modes of transmission. It's important to practice good hygiene and avoid sharing personal items that may come into contact with blood.
