Hello, first post to the group, kind of concerned
Here goes; so, a couple of weeks ago I was out of town with some friends in Western Mass, and during the second day I was hanging out with some friends and chatting. I was going to change something on my vape pen and had to put the mouthpiece down for a moment and it fell off the tray I was using and onto the shelf the tray was on top of, I didn’t think anything of it to be honest, and as a result I kept using my vape pen as I normally do. Later that night my girlfriend and I were back in the same room making some food for everyone, and I noticed that on the shelf I had put the mouthpiece on there were a couple of mouse droppings, and I can only assume they were there earlier when my pen’s mouthpiece fell on the shelf. And here we are two weeks later, I have a runny nose and a really itchy throat, and am absolutely terrified that I contracted Hantavorus. This is something I’ve had major anxiety over in the past, andhave read about countless times, so I know it’s rare, extremely rare, but I’m still very concerned. As of today it’s been two weeks since we went on this trip and I have read that symptoms show within 2-4 weeks. So I am extremelynworr Ed. Has anyone else had a “close call” like this? Am I just being paranoid? I am super worried.
Thanks for reading
