Infected library.

17% Normal
3 Comments

I haven't been to a library in a long time. I have very recently considered going back because not only do I need to get out of my house, but borrowing books is much easier on the finances than having to constantly buy books. However, I am very concerned about risks to my health. In the past, I have found quite a few books that contained suspicious fluid stains in them. My biggest concern is that I'll pick out a book that has blood in it. What if this blood has aids in it? What if the blood unknowingly gets into my blood stream and I become infected? I have gotten this before fear in conjunction with some other things, but never was it as crippling as it is with this situation. Is this normal or even possible?

    You're not going to get AIDS from dried blood in a book lol. I think it's normal to be a bit grossed out by anything that has been touched by hundreds of people and not cleaned... handrails, etc.

    Stupid reads too? :D Just joking.

    Seriously, do you believe what you have said? I cannot imagine someone really believing that he can be infected with aids by borrowing some books.

    Treatment for OCD may be appropriate.
