Brief Answer:
No problem as long it did not come in contact with your blood
Detailed Answer:
Dear Ms,I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns . it's probably someone who is trying to freak you out or tease you but since A used pad contains blood , it could be a possible source of infection. however , touching blood is not enough to transmit any infection to you. to transmit any infection to you, the blood in the pad must come in contact with your blood, which did not happen. so, calm down , throw it away, wash everything that was in your bag and your bag with soap and water. things that can not be washed should be sanitized with detol or alcohol thoroughfully. then wash your hands with soap and water then sanitize then with detol or alcohol . There is no need to worry after that. I hope I answered your question.
