Never worked a construction job?? How about paper cuts for the office worker? Most of the adults I know get probably 2-3 cuts a year, but the kids I know are almost weekly getting scrapes, scratches, or cuts, just as part of being active. Not so rare as you might think.

I was speaking of actual blood contact. I am well aware that people have multiple micro-cuts, which could certainly allow Ebola to penetrate the skin if one comes into contact with infected fluids. But I cannot think of a single instance where those micro-cuts lead to significant bleeding, or where blood from a minor cut ends up on other people.
I get micro-cuts all the time. I have cats. They have sharp little claws. They are also hungry. When they are hungry, they use their claws to get my attention by tapping my bare skin with their claws slightly extended. Ouch.
