Blood in my Camera...
So... I had a sudden nosebleed with my M3 around my neck, and a drop fell around the shutter release. Some of it got in and around the space between the release and collar. I cleaned it up as well as I could, but I'm sure there's still some in there. So, should I worry?

Worry about nose bleeds, but not about the camera. It'll be fine, nothing worse than a single drop of rain.

It'll probably dry and fall apart.
But how's your nose?

I thought it was used as a murder weapon when I saw the title...

Thank you for asking... currently, I have two pieces of tissue paper rolled up in my nose (one started shortly after the other stopped), but I think they've both stopped. Yesterday, I somehow coughed through my nose (not sneezed) and I've been having nosebleeds a bit more frequently... I guess I need to be a bit more careful where I put my nose...

Yes, yes, I know. I made sure to take care of myself before bothering about my camera... Thank you, though.

Do not even mind about the camera, once a drop passes through the shutter release collar it will spread around and dry on the first surface to leave a residue to have nothing to do with the functions (it's not like oil to seep everywhere..) However, if you are over 50 have your blood pressure checked time to time. |

Your DNA is inside the Leica. Now you will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.

The camera is now a biohazard. It must be disposed of properly... and promptly.

It just so happens I am an "authorized" disposer of Bio-hazards. Please send your M3 and I will properly dispose of it

Your camera has now developed a taste for human blood. You are doomed.

... it'll be fine ... next time it goes through an airport xray machine the ionising radiation will fry the DNA
