Can I get sick this way??

2022-12-06 05:57:19
So I have to travel to another city by train everyday for college and after my classes I usually grab a burger or something and eat it without washing or sanitizing my hands. Although the food is always wrapped in a butter paper, I don't touch the food with my bare hands, I hold the food with the help of that wrapper. I am just a little worried that this could make me sick. Is it possible?? If yes, what are the possible diseases I can catch this way?
