Does Hep C live on plastic material Jul 22, 2010 A person with hepatitis C has a cut covered with a bandaid, and the blood is dried...then the person rinses a dish under the facet and the water drains from the bandaid onto the dish...will a person drinking/eating from this dish get the Hep C virus? How would the virus be killed once it has drained onto the dish from the bandaid? |

 Even if virus survived, I wouldn't expect transmission from an oral route. | ||||||||
