this may qualify as being extremely odd...
yesterday, around 6 PM, I noticed a red spot on my shirt, which looked like blood. when I went to the bathroom to wipe it off, i checked my arm all around the area where the stain was. There was no open cut, or broken skin, scab, etc. I was working in a hospital that day, but in administration-not in any patient area where blood contact may occur. I wiped it off and it came right off, so it may have been recent. I don't recall 'brushing up' against anyone or having any kind of physical contact, I just can't understand where this came from. I am assuming it is blood. It may not be, but I wouldn't know what else it could be.
I guess my question is, in the event that it is (infected) blood, is there any chance, whatsoever, of a transmission this way? I realize this is a stretch, but was just wondering.
thanks
