Okay so this is going to sound gross but on Sunday night two of my fingers accidental came into contact with my own faeces when wiping.. I am so embarrassed as I am usually so hygienic and stuff.. I know that there are a lot of dangerous bacteria in human faeces.. such as E.Coli.. I have NOT stopped reading and searching on Google for the past 48 hours all about symptoms of it and horror stories because I can't restrain myself. OF COURSE after it happened I washed my hands repeatedly with antibacterial soap, then used antibacterial wipes on the area it touched. I proceeded after this to use alcohol based (carex) hand sanitizer on the area also.
I am very concerned, the incubation period for an infection is anything from 2 to 10 days.. It's been 2 days so far and I'm not coping very well. I know that E.Coli infections are usually from outbreaks in areas from undercooked meat and stuff but it still says it can be passed from human to human contact so I assume if I touched surfaces in my room and touched my face/nose/eyes/perhaps mouth although I tried not to touch my mouth, but it's likely I did at some point.
My stomach already feels uneasy and I've had cramps today, not severe but it could be the start? But then again it could be my anxiety and stress over it? I'm terrified cause this type of poisoning can actually cause kidney failure and stuff, along with bloody diarrhoea, nausea/vomiting etc. I REALLY don't think I could cope with that being as health anxious as I am.
I don't want to suffer in silence, my mum disregards this fear and thinks it's irrational, but I was hoping for advice, what do you guys think????
