Can hepatits c be transmitted from object?

Is that possible to catch hepatitis C by touching any object? I found in net that hep c virus can live up to few weeks outside the body, and that infection can be done even by invisible amount of blood. So is it possbile to get this illness when I have so often many small cuts on my hands and skin sore sometimes with weak bleeding?

Is it possible to transfer hep c in this kind of situations?

Hepatitis c infected blood must enter the blood stream of an uninfected person through an open wet weeping wound.

If a health care worker should experience an accidental needle stuckinbolving a patient with known hep c the odds of transmission are only about 1.8%

Only about 1% of the population has hep c so one of these few persons would have to have bleed on the object and the object would have to have remained undisturbed. Then you would have to have a fresh wound and force the dried blood into your blood stream somehow. And then the odds would be less than the 1.8% chance of a healthcare worker. So you are looking at odds lower than one in a million most likely probably lower than that.

Thanks for your answer. My concern is, if I touch very small particle of blood (invisible by normal eye) from person who is hep c positive, and this partible touch the skin area where I have egzema with sore skin with only superficial redness or small bleeding is it any even theoretical possibility to infect myself?

I just found information that even invisible amount of blood can create the infection.. so why not so many people are infected in this situation?
Exactly correct if hep c was easy to catch many more people than about 1% would be infected.

First you have to assume this blood is present which is very low probability. Then the 1% probability this blood has hep c. Then this blood would have to have been totally undisturbed for less than a couple of weeks. Then somehow this blood would have to be pushed inside your bloodstream through an open fresh bleeding wound. You can see we are talking about a risk less likely than being hit by a meteorite very very low to improbably on the grand scheme of things.

You have a much greater risk of millions of other things happening than contracting hep c in the manner described.
