SV exposure

[Srk2756]

So I just started working in the medical field, and I knew this would become a problem. I've never posted but have had emetophobia for at least 14 years.

I just registered a patient that was violently vomiting, sitting about five feet away from me. I tried very hard not to breathe through my mouth the entire time. I disinfected EVERYTHING, and washed my hands afterward. What are my chances of contracting? I'd like to know for future exposures as well.

I have to reply fast as I'm on checking dinner duty haha but you'll be fine (: you have to swallow enough of those germs fully to catch it and your body would probably be repelled by seeing/hearing thus not catching it

Thanks! I've been on high alert for the past couple days, I've been forcing myself to eat because I know it's silly and unhealthy to starve myself, even though I really want to.
