Answer:

ANSWER

From working in the health care field, we are taught to treat every bodily fluid, spill, or splash as a potential infectious fluid. Put on gloves, mask, and body gown, clean spill with approved chemical for your job, dispose of it in a RED BAG disposal unit, and if a sharp is involved, make sure it goes in a locked, secured sharps disposal box...After removing protective gear, wash carefully per your policy.
