If a drop of two people's blood was side by side on a piece of paper, then mixed together, there'd be no health risk.
However, if the two people made a cut on the skin and "mixed blood" by skin to skin, cut to cut, contact then there could be many minor and serious health risks. First, any break or cut in the skin can lead to infection. As well, the blood carries many minor and serious viruses and bacterial pathogens. If Person A rubbed their blood on or into Person B's cut skin, one or both persons could become ill from anything that the other person is carrying.
It is important to note that every person *can* carry various viruses and bacteria, but never become ill because that person's immune system has protected the person. But, when 2 people mix blood on an open cut, each person can become ill from whatever the other person carries.
Blood-borne infection is why health care workers wear gloves when a patient has any amount of blood coming from the body. Even a small cut on a health care worker's hand can become infected very quickly and easily by contact with someone's blood. And even if the cut person immediately washes the hands, infective agents are often much faster and have already begun the infection process.

What kind of energy conversion happens when you rub your hands together?
Mechanical energy is converted into thermal energy when you rub your hands together. The friction between your hands causes them to generate heat, which warms them up.
What happens when things rub together?
When things rub together, friction is created, which generates heat and wears down the surfaces of the objects. This can result in the production of sound, like in the case of rubbing your hands together. Additionally, friction can cause static electricity to build up, leading to potential electric shocks.
What happens when clouds rub together?
When clouds rub together, they can merge into larger clouds or cause friction which may lead to the formation of precipitation such as rain, snow, or hail. This rubbing can also generate static electricity which can result in lightning.
What is a place where two plates rub together called?
A place where two plates rub together is called a fault line or a plate boundary. This interaction can lead to earthquakes and volcanic activity as the plates move against each other.
What happens when a cotton shirt and a wool sweater rub together why?
When a cotton shirt and wool sweater rub together, they create friction that can generate static electricity. This can cause the fabrics to stick together or even produce a small spark. The different properties of cotton and wool fibers rubbing together create a charge separation, which results in static electricity.
What can you feel with friction when you rub your hands together?
You can feel heat when you rub your hand together!
