So... I had a sudden nosebleed with my M3 around my neck, and a drop fell around the shutter release. Some of it got in and around the space between the release and collar. I cleaned it up as well as I could, but I'm sure there's still some in there. So, should I worry?

I think you're fine.

Worry about nose bleeds, but not about the camera. It'll be fine, nothing worse than a single drop of rain.

It'll probably dry and fall apart.
But how's your nose?

I thought it was used as a murder weapon when I saw the title...

Thank you for asking... currently, I have two pieces of tissue paper rolled up in my nose (one started shortly after the other stopped), but I think they've both stopped. Yesterday, I somehow coughed through my nose (not sneezed) and I've been having nosebleeds a bit more frequently... I guess I need to be a bit more careful where I put my nose...

Stop worring about your camera. Its a tool.

Yes, yes, I know. I made sure to take care of myself before bothering about my camera... Thank you, though.

Do not even mind about the camera, once a drop passes through the shutter release collar it will spread around and dry on the first surface to leave a residue to have nothing to do with the functions (it's not like oil to seep everywhere..) However, if you are over 50 have your blood pressure checked time to time.

The camera is now a biohazard. It must be disposed of properly... and promptly.

It just so happens I am an "authorized" disposer of Bio-hazards. Please send your M3 and I will properly dispose of it
