Hanson made a blood examination In euch each case While making these examinations Doctor Hanson noticed that that the Up tip of ot his bis index finger was stained with blood from one of these patients He attached no importance to this tills butIn butIn but butIn In cleaning his hands with alcohol he felt a sharp sting on this finger r showIng showing showing show show- ing that there was a
