Working in health care can be risky, study hints

A new study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that health care workers are more likely to die from bloodborne infections and related illnesses than people working in other occupations.
"There is evidence that over the past 20 to 25 years health care workers have been more likely to die of these kinds of infections than other workers are," Dr Sara E. Luckhaupt of the CDC's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) in Cincinnati told Reuters Health.
