Dental spittoon - risk of exposure Jul 18, 2010 Dear Dr. Bob! I am a dental nurse, on clinic last week I went to fill up the mouthrinse for the patient...however the pressure of the tap (clean drinking water) was on very high it hit the spittoon surface which had saliva and a small blood from the patient at very high speed and went straight into my eyes. I did not rinse my eyes afterward and was not wearing safety googles. What is the risk of catching Hepatitis/HIV this way? Is there a risk from diluted infected bodily fluids going into the eyes? thank you so much for your time and help, I very much appreciate it. |
