Exposure from possible inhalation of dried serum?
I work in a medical testing lab. I don't often work with patient samples directly, but today I was testing
serum
Serum calcium
Serum globulin electrophoresis
Serum iron
Serum ketones
Serum phosphorus
Serum progesterone
Serum serotonin level
Sodium - blood
Ferritin
samples. I had the lids off the tubes of
serum
Serum calcium

Serum iron
Serum ketones
Serum phosphorus

Serum serotonin level

Ferritin
for about 2 hours, and the

that had splashed on the inside of the lids dried and flaked off onto the counterspace nearby. I didn't notice this until I was putting the lids back on the tubes.
I'm worried that I might have inhaled some of these flakes of dried
serum

. Ever since I finished my testing, I have been sneezing and feeling like I'm having an allergic
reaction
Allergic reactions to medication
Dermatitis, reaction to tinea
Drug allergies
Febrile/cold agglutinins
Insect bite reaction - close-up
Intradermal allergy test reactions
Positive reaction to allergen
Transfusion reaction

. I'm very scared that I've been exposed to a bloodbourne pathogen.
