I just got back from getting my hair done, and the wheels in my mind have started turning full speed. I've got it in my head that there were germs on the smock or the cape or the sink that somehow bounced up into my mouth when getting my hair washed. And then before leaving, after touching the closet handle where my coat was and then the credit card key pad, I pushed my hair behind my ear and it fell forward again got into my mouth, sending me into full panic mode. I came home and immediately showered; rewashed my hair, neck, arms and face, which convinced me even further that I somehow got germs into my mouth. My brain has me convinced that I've contracted a SV and I just have to wait for it to hit.
All I can think is that some client before me came from home or daycare where they were surrounded by sick kids and wore that same smock and apron and got their germy hair washed in the same sink. Even typing this all out makes it seem so obviously illogical (or maybe not?) that it's embarrassing. Any advice or words of wisdom to help talk me in off this proverbial ledge would be so above and beyond appreciated.
