    Default Odds of catching something after handling money?

    So I work as a "checkout chick" serving customers at a supermarket. We had a busy day and I ate some food without washing my hands.
    Now I'm freaking out so much, could I have caught something?
    I feel a little off over 24hrs later, but I don't know if it's just a panic attack or not.
    Just don't know what to do. I was doing so well, now my phobia has come back.

    I used to work retail and NEVER washed my hands. Like ever. Totally gross. I never caught anything. I agree with mdgirl though, a lot of cashiers wear gloves which is smart as money is gross. The chance of you having anything is pretty much 0.
