Hello Doctors, Actually I had just brushed my teeth 2 mins ago and was cleaning. Just then breakfast was served and since eating with spoon I didn't wash my hands. Now one piece of fruit had fallen on the table mat and I had kept it aside on the plate. But I forgot and picked it up from the plate by my hand and ate it. Now I am very worried. You read so much about dangerous infections like anthrax and other pathogens. My question is that within 2-3 mins after brushing is it possible that you can have  dangerous infections from indoor dust or from the floor at house if you accidentally eat something with the hands having touched some of the dust?
