Sharing straws used to snort drugs thru your nose is a mode of transmission. So, ..yes, you can "catch it thru that"

If you are concerned, I suggest getting tested.  It would also be a good time to get vaccinated against HepA and HepB.

If there was blood exchanged there is a risk of transmission of hepatitis C. You wouldn't know as it is mainly an asymptomatic disease for many years. Testing for antibodies would be the way to find out.
