should i takea shower again and clean with another towel ? lol too lazy i dont think thats necessary though

Answer 1

If you're asking how to get the stain out, rinse it with cold water. Cold water works really good to get blood stains out...do NOT use hot water...that sets the stain.

Answer 2

Wash the towel in cold water with Era Active Stainfighter detergent.
Pretreat spots, you can let it sit for several minutes.
Wash, check towel b4 you dry.
Drying will set the stain so do not dry if stain is still there
Rewash instead
Era works well on blood because of enzymes included

Answer 3

No, it can not infect you with anything you're not already infected with. Just wash the towel in cold water with some soap and stop blowing your nose on towels. Use a tissue.

Answer 4

Will you get infected with what? If the blood came from you you're already infected with anything you might have. Other than that, throw it in the wash with some Oxyclean or Spray and Wash and see if it comes out. If it's white, bleach it.

hi veronica, another great question for this forum and i can't wait to help out. first off, i too used to dry myself. after 24 years of it, i'd had enough. for the past 7 months, i've steered clear of any cotton or absorbant materials for 6-7 hours after showering. i'd recommend doing the same - HUGE stress saver. i hate water and i hate wet things.

now to see whether or not you've blowed your nose, please gather the following materials:
an odometer
pack of juicyfruit
white towel
half cup of ground black pepper
pepper spray (co2 container)
hose

visit your local high school track, leave odometer in car but bring the rest of the materials with you. while running at full speed, unwrap every piece of gum in the pack and place them in your mouth, chew until your jaw begins to lock up or the shin splints force you to stop running. place the wad of gum up your right nostril. take the ground black pepper and snort it up your left nostril, as you begin to sneeze, spray yourself directly in the face with the pepper spray. this will deactivate the sneezing particles in the pepper and release them back into the air or in this instance, "your air passage way" or "your lungs/every pore in the upper half of your torso".

grab the towel and sneeze into it until the gum shoots out and is captured. check for fillings then discard. you have now blowed your nose. be sure to throw away the towel before it accidentally dries any of the liquid h2o particles. drive home.

now for the tricky part... would a blood stain come off? great question. first, throw away all cotton materials in your home. have the water shut off and dispose of all liquids.

grab steak marinade, a monkey wrench and a lemon.

extract the lemon juice without penetrating the fruit's rind. take the monkey wrench and mash your left pinky finger.

still got any pepper spray left? good. give yourself a dose of that, square in the eyes. hit your bro with a open stream from that knowledge beacon as well. try not to blowed your nose on anything and rub the steak marinade underneath your eyelids as soon as the pepper spray runs out. this will help determine whether or not you will get infected from towel blood. to be honest, i'm not so sure about your bro. guy sounds seedy at best.

hope this cleared everything up.

Answer 6

Try peroxide and water and soap. scrub it and then rinse, spray with a spray remover.

You most likely have a better chance of getting a staph infection from cutting yourself shaving then using a towel

Answer 7

You should be fine, soak the towel in ice cold water, and spray with antibacterial spray. Check yourself over for cuts. Good luck, hope all goes well.

Answer 8

You should be able to get it out with a stain remover pen. I like the tide to go pen, it's in the laundry aisle and costs about $2.50... works wonders!!

Answer 9

no somethimes when you blow your nose hard it damages the tiny viens you have in your nose and the rupture and it bleeds a littlenothing should happen and dont worry about it just wash the towel.

Answer 10

Okay if it's fresh blood put it in cold water immediately. No you won't get infected from your own secretions.
