The Alarming Truth Behind Tiny Marks on Public Restroom Toilet Paper

A TikTok video warning has gone viral, cautioning viewers about the potential risks of using toilet paper in public restrooms that may be contaminated with blood from drug users cleaning their needles. The video advises people to avoid using toilet paper with small red blood splotches and streak marks, as it could lead to the transmission of bloodborne infections such as HIV/AIDS and hepatitis B or C. While experts state that direct fluid transfer is necessary for HIV transmission, caution is still advised. Viewers were alarmed by the warning and expressed concerns about encountering contaminated toilet paper in public restrooms.
