Mishnah, Niddah, 7.2

nan If a dead sheretz was found in an alley it causes uncleanness retrospectively to such time as one can say, \"I examined this alley and there was no sheretz in it,\" or to such time as it was last swept. So also a bloodstain found on a garment causes uncleanness retrospectively to such time as one can say, \"I examined this shirt and there was no stain on it\" or to such time as it was last washed. And it conveys uncleanness whether it is wet or dry. Rabbi Shimon says: if it is dry it causes uncleanness retrospectively, but if it is wet it causes uncleanness only to a time when it could still have been wet."
