Can your skin absorb blood?

Asked by bluedoggiant (648points) April 17th, 2009

I was reading an article today about why your fingers “wrinkle” or “prune” up after getting out of the water, like a pool. Some of the responses were because your skin absorbed the water.

If it can absorb water, can it also absorb blood. Say a rabies infected…cat for example, didn’t bite me, but is dripping blood on me, would it absorb eventually if i just leave it there?
