Can bloodborne pathogens spread faster in heat?
Bloodborne pathogens do not inherently spread faster in heat; rather, heat can affect the viability of the pathogens outside the body. Higher temperatures may help some pathogens survive for longer periods in certain environments, but transmission is primarily influenced by direct contact with infected bodily fluids. Factors such as the mode of transmission, the presence of an open wound, and the amount of infectious material play a more significant role in the spread of these pathogens than temperature alone.
