Ebola question

[todd30]

Today I was at the store and a woman had pulled down a few plastic bag in the produce section she had handled them and just chose one. I asked her if she was done with the bags because she was just standing there, she said she was and I grabbed the plastic bag and started getting my produce (I'm sure she touched the bag I was using) at the same moment I heard her turn to her mother who was shopping with her and say "I got to get home, I'm burning up" the same lady was seen a few minutes later at the check out. She was sweating and was rubbing the back of her neck and fanning out her shirt. She was very dramatic about being hot. I worry because I took the bag right after her and she might have had fluids on her had. I also worry because I had a chemical burn that was on my finger. The burn was two weeks old and it isn't open. But looks red. I'm in a state with no reports of Ebola. What's the likely hood of infection?

I don't see any likelihood. First she could have had a hot flash due to menopause not EBOLA. Your in a state that has no EBOLA. You wound was not open. There is no reason to be fearful. Unless you know the person has been exposed to EBOLA there is no reason to suspect she has it, especially since you are in a state that doesn't even have it.
