Solution

Coming into contact with another person’s blood or saliva describes body fluids transmission. This is because body fluids such as blood and saliva can carry pathogens. If these fluids come into contact with your mucous membranes (such as those in the eyes, nose, or mouth), open wounds, or injections sites, they can transmit diseases.
