[Avodah] Question

[Rich, Joel]

A colleague asked me the following question and I had
no answer.
If the ba’al kore is reading the Torah and either has a
nose bleed or a finger cut which causes blood to transfer
to the Sefer Torah, what is the halachic response?
_______________________________________________
IMHO
1. Make sure the ba'al kore gets proper medical treatment
2. clean up any mess
3. if the ba'al kore can't continue, get a substitute

Now if the oleh is the one bleeding, it's probably a bigger issue. See S"A O"C 140
