Can I get sick this way??
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?

All kind of aerosol or skin contamination disease. If proper hand washing with soap isn't possible, you can use hand sanitizer.

Hands carry many germs,so you nay get a Gastrointestinal infection if you dont practice hand hygiene
