water on floor
I was walking down our lab hall to leave and I dropped my water bottle. I them went to lunch and opened my water and also at a pretzel. I had gum surgery for a cyst 6 days ago and it would still bleed a little if I pushed on it. Could I have been infected with hep c by eating the pretzel. My water was ok . I know it sounds odd.
I did not drop the pretzel but my hands might have picked up some thing off the bottle ( probably more like germs ) I'm really OCD

Hep c infected blood must enter the blood stream of an uninfected person.
Hep c transmission requires blood to blood contact.
Even in thew case of a health care worker who experiences an accidental
needle stick involving a patient with know hep c the odds of becoming infected are only about 1.8%
Please seek treatment for you unwarranted fear of contracting a difficult to contract curable illness.
