Went to the hospital for some tests and the tech/phlebotomist was sniffling and sneezing constantly. She looked sick.

I was a bit alarmed and asked if she was sick but she told me that she had seasonal allergies and they were acting up.

I also don't recall seeing her washing her hands or putting on hand sanitizer. However, I do remember her putting on new gloves.

Any chance of catching anything while the tech was drawing my blood? Blood draws are one of my worst fears. Sigh...I really wish I could get over this fear/anxiety. :weep:

I would think your fine. If she changed gloves. Or didn't sneeze into them.
