If blood is splashed in the eye or any mucous membrane, flush the affected area with running water for at least 15 minutes.
Have the person promptly rinse their eye(s) under running water, a warm shower, or a clean water container. Face of the individual should be held with the injured eye down and to the side. A high-pressure water stream should never be directed at the eye or eyes.
Use warm water to flush for 15 to 30 minutes.
<h3>What are the risks of infection from blood?</h3>
The likelihood of contracting an infection increases if you break or pierce your skin while coming into contact with contaminated blood. For instance, if you pierce your skin with a sharp tool that has contaminated blood on it, like a used needle.
If blood only comes into touch with your eyes, mouth, nose, or already broken skin, the danger of contracting an infection from it is reduced. For instance, if someone spits in your face, their saliva may contain blood and could end up in your mouth, nose, or eyes.
Additionally, infectious saliva may enter an already open wound, graze, or scratch. If infected, there is relatively little danger of infection. If infected blood comes into contact with intact skin, the chance of infection is quite low.
