3. Blood
Many people don’t realize that parvovirus can be spread through blood. The virus shows up in blood just as it does in the respiratory fluid. It’s less commonly spread through blood because most people are more cautious around someone who is bleeding and when bleeding themselves. Still, the smallest drops of blood that may go unseen but can contain the virus.
Even though a person may think they are careful when they have an injury, they may still be dripping blood and spreading the virus. This is just one reason why it is so important to disinfect an area where you may have been bleeding or treating an injury. Parvovirus isn’t the only disease or illness that can be passed through the blood and some are even more severe and even deadly. Bleach and germ-killing sprays can help kill parvovirus and clean up areas where blood has been dripped.
