Concern about infection risk

2024-07-05 09:39:38
Today my mother had boiled potatoes, but after boiling she washed it with non chlorinated water from the sink to cool them down instead of the RO water we use for cooking. As I was peeling the potatoes and mashing them to a fine paste, some droplets from the plate kept splashing in my nose throughout. Now I am worried that since the droplets kept splashing and I was breathing in and sometimes due to applying pressure breathing a bit heavily too and then later sneezed can the droplets get sucked up deep into the upper nasal passages or to the olfactory nerves and cause N Fowleri infection as it's summer?
