I don't have a severe fear of being randomly poisoned in general but I recently had an incident at a coffee shop where a customer grabbed my order by accident and returned it to pick up their drink a few minutes later. I didn't think too much of it in the moment and didn't want to make any issue of it so I just drank it. Later in the day I started worrying that maybe they could have put something harmful like a poison in it when they took it outside. I didn't feel sick that day and I never really hear of random people being intentionally poisoned (other than the Tylenol murders in the 80's) so I know I am probably being irrational. Even so, I keep worrying that something could have been put in the drink. Part of it is probably hypochondria.
So, am I being really irrational here? Should I not even worry about such a thing? But mainly, how do you stop obsessing about worries like this?
Thanks in advance for any help!
