- burnte 6y agoYes. When you remove the blood from the body and expose it to UV, you're exposing the pathogens in the blood directly to UV. When the blood is still inside the body, UV can't reach it, it's blocked by the skin. Also, that causes sunburns.
- hawkice 6y agoBlood is on the inside, and skin isn't transparent to UV.
