How are tears transmitted to another person?

Not being a health care worker, I'm not quite sure.

Perhaps because this was a previously unkown method of transmission, the threat of transmission to health care workers is now increased.

Well I had better stop drinking peoples tears all the time, may catch something unpleasant *hehe*

Indeed this just adds another danger to the list of things that care workers have to be carfeful of which is not good. Now soppy films at the cinema really are bad for your health !

Right. No more tear jerkers.
