Yes. Dried blood can still carry germs, and some viruses, such as hepatitis B, can last on surfaces for a long time. Scraping or scrubbing dried blood can also put particles into the air, so it should be handled with protection and disinfected.
It depends on the germ and the conditions, and nobody can judge it by looking at a stain. Hepatitis B, for example, can survive on surfaces for a considerable time. That is why dried blood is treated as infectious until it has been properly disinfected.
No single product is best for every surface. Blood is lifted first, then the area is disinfected with a product made for bloodborne pathogens. Porous materials such as carpet or drywall often have to be removed instead of cleaned.
Cleanup begins only after law enforcement releases the scene. A crime scene cleaning team then removes blood, bodily fluids and contaminated materials, disinfects the affected area and treats odor. Family members should not clean it themselves.
Crime scene cleaners wear protective gear, contain the area, remove soaked porous materials and lift blood from hard surfaces. They then disinfect with EPA-registered products and haul the waste away. The goal is to remove the hazard, not just the stain.
Wash the skin with soap and water right away, and rinse the eyes or mouth with clean water if blood splashed there. Then talk with a doctor or the local health department about next steps. This is general information, not medical advice.
