Question:

My son went to get his hair cut and the lady used clippers and cut the back of his neck. Can heCatch infection

He is only 3 and it bled- a minor cut. I have been worried. Now a week later he has a fever. Could the fever be related to the cut? Could he have gotten something more serious?


Answers:

Most reputable hair stylist are taught to keep their clippers and scissor clean and to use disinfectant on them after each use. Its why you never see them use a comb if its fallen on the floor (if they do pick one up to use then they aren't showing sign of good training and you should leave).

SO if they are practicing good habits and the cut was doctored... I wouldn't worry much its probably just random chance that he got sick.

If the area is inflamed then its infected and you should see a doctor...

If his fever goes beyond 104 see a doctor...

If he becomes jaundiced see a doctor (possible to get hep from a cut from a instrument that had also cut someone that was infected, this would have been my only worry and would really depend on whether they were disinfecting their cutters after each person)...
