A person with bleeding gums while chewing tobacco handed me a 10 rupees note.blood present on note I placed the note on a cash counter. After that, I washed my hands with Savlon handwash. Around 5–6 minutes later, I touched the cash counter and then my house mug (both possibly dry or slightly wet). After another 5–6 minutes, I touched the mug again. About 1 minute later, I touched my mucous membrane (e.g., mouth/eye/nose). The total time from the initial note to mucous membrane contact was about 14-15minutes
