How "bad" is our blood?
I know not to let others share things of mine with blood on them but,
for an extreme case, would a touch of blood, which dries,  on a
borrowed shirt, be dangerous to the shirt's owner (even if they wash it
without touching the blood)?
Guess I'm looking for the fine edge of danger and where to stop
worrying that I'll harm others...

It's Blood to Blood you have to be concerned about, for example if you leave
some traces of your blood on an object that might be used by someone else
who could infect themselves only through introducing your blood into their
blood stream, somehow.   No shared toothbrushes, nailclippers, anything that
could pierce your skin and then without being fully cleaned, used by someone
else, who would have to pierce their skin in order to become in contact with
the virus in the remains of your blood on the items.  Touch alone will not
infect anyone.

hope this clears things up, Alex

Naw......no danger.  But you may want to take the washer outside and put
a few rounds from your .45 into it.  Don't do it in the house.
