Actually Hep C
can survive for up to
two weeks out of the body in a nutrient-rich environment (which, by the way, is absurdly long - HIV lasts mere minutes outside the body) . . . but since the blood should probably be dried by then, your chances of actual infection are not nearly as large as if the blood were dry, so yeah, it's kind of alarmist.
