I had an early plane trip this morning. When they were deplaning, I heard this loud sound (could have been v* or a violent sneeze), but when I walked through the gate a minute later, it smelled horribly, like v*.

I didn’t see anything on the ground, but there was an old man sitting on a chair wiping his nose/mouth with his family around him, and a woman pulling out a bag.

I tried to hold my breath when I walked out, and I immediately washed my hands. I can’t wait to get home and shower.

Could I have picked up something if I walked in the area where he possibly v* a minute after?
