HCV from broken glass?

[elli70]

There are lots of broken pieces of glass at a place i work right now...A few days ago i cut my foot twice both times bleeding extremely little....
what if someone with hepatitis c cut themselves with the same glass....
i want to know if it had blood from someone with hcv and i cut my feet with the same glass what is the chance of acquiring hepatitis C ?
when i cut my foot the glass pieces were not exposed to other people for around two hours?
please let me know!

Please don't worry so much.  You would have to live in a bubble to avoid life's uncertainties.
What you have described would be "No risk"!
Please go out, enjoy our beautiful world, and rest assured you Do NOT have
Hep C.
Take care

It's not typical or likely to get Hep C from broken glass. Tattoos done with a dirty needle, blood transfusions done in the past, sharing dirty drug needles, razors and toothbrushes are the common ways to get it. Beyond that it is not likely to catch it. It is not airborne. It's a blood virus. These days there are safety's in check to avoid the spread of this blood virus but not so in the past.
