Possibly a very hot bullet sterilizes any penetrating infection and hepatitis may be included.
But thereafter an open wound may be infected by ir and manipulation, nothin having to do with bullets,
Anyway the hurt person deservesa strict follow up regarding hepatitis possibilities.Breniildo Tavares MD

  Just a question for the more gsw-located people here..:

  A drugdeal here in Sweden was interrupted by the police last week. A drugdealer was shot by the police, the bullet travells through him and into another drugdealer standing behind him. The thing is guy number one has hepatitis c. (yes, the irony...)
  No specific injuries but still some blood. So what do you think, what are the odds of getting hepatitis from this rather unusual way? I don't know the velocity of the weapon but it is a standard handgun. Could the heat from the bullet "disinfect" the viruses?
  Interesting case no matter!
