Their taint can spread fast, as well, for those who aren't Grey Wardens. That's why it's best to keep as much of yourself covered as you can, to prevent accidentally coming into contact with their blood. The tales of those suffering and dying because darkspawn blood got into their mouth or eyes are absolutely true."
