Hey all,

I have been emetophobic for as long as I can remember and take great lengths to avoid getting sick in my daily life. I live in New York City and it is so dirty here so that is difficult!

Tonight on my way home a girl two seats down from me on the Subway v*d all over the floor, twice. I was probably about 2 feet from the v*. I got up after a stunned few seconds and moved to the next car, but a little got on my shoe and I'm nervous I might have breathed in some of the v*.

I don't know if she had a virus, or what, but I am feeling so anxious that I'll catch it if she has a virus. I took my shoes off and put them in a plastic bag without touching them, so I'm not worried about that. What I am worried about is if I breathed in some particles.

Has this happened to anyone else? Did you get sick? Please help!! I need advice!!
