*Urgent* blood test

2021-02-19 14:55:13
Today I had blood test. We called a phlebotomist to come at home and take blood. When he took the blood, i realised he didn't wash his hands, nor he wore gloves. Now I am stressed out about the bacteria, virus or any pathogens he would have given me. Because after wiping the area with alcohol, he again touched the area with bare fingers to feel the vein. I am stressed, what do i do?

Assuming he was not having any contagious skin diseases or active wound,  it won't cause any issues. Relax
