coifeur barbier
Oct 16, 2007

bonjour docteur bob, juste une question:

mon mari va toujour chez le meme coiffeur, et souvent ce dernier le coupe derriere la nuque en le rasant avec un couteau( les ancien rasoir). y a t il un risque pour n importe quelle maladie qui se transmettrait par le sang dans le cas de petite coupure(sur 1 cm) et pas tres profondes.Il y a du monde dans ce salon donc j imagine que ca n est pas arrivé qu a mon mari!

merci d'avance pour votre reponse! Cordialement. GAELLE!

Salut Galle,

Comment s'appelle-t-il le coiffeur barbier de ton mari ? Sweeney Todd, le diabolique barbier de Fleet Street ?

Si le barbier utilise la méthode adaptée pour désinfecter ses instruments, il ne doit pas y avoir de risque de transmission par le sang de n'importe quelle maladie. Mais si ce barbier souvent . . . le coupe derrière la nuque, ton mari devrait peut-être chercher un autre coiffeur, avec lequel le risque de saigner est moindre.

Bonne chance et bonne santé.

Dr. Bob
