Worried after cutting myself with an epilator

---

Hi,
I decided to just try an epilator out of curiousity.
I tried epilating my crotch and it totally hurt and I also had to go over the same area multiple times cause it wasn't even pulling all hairs out.
But then when I looked at the cap of the epilator (there are different caps with different sizes for different regions of the body) I saw that it was bloody!
I hadnt seen that I was bleeding but I was bleeding and the cap got in direct contact with the bleeding areas!

Now I'm scared. How dangerous is this? I mean what if someone had used the epilator before and also cut himself with it and then gave it back?
The thing comes with a 90 day money back guarantee. What if the company keeps reselling those epilators which people send back to them?
Or what if they simply put them in a new box and then sell them as new?

How long would a virus survive on a surface? Days or weeks?

And could a dead virus be revived once it gets in contact with fresh blood?

Please stop the paranoia.

But is this really paranoia?

What if viruses live totally long?

Paranoia is not fear of the impossible, but fear that is out of proportion with the probability.

But this all depends how long viruses stay active. If they can stay active for a long time then there would be a possible risk in case the epilator had been used by someone else before.

If you are that paranoid about "supposed" risks, then you should just avoid everything that has even a possibility of some risk. Live your life in a bubble.
