It sounds like this situation has caused you a lot of anxiety, especially given your history of OCD. From what you’ve described, this type of contact is generally not considered a significant risk for infection, but these worries can feel very real and overwhelming.
Since this is repeatedly causing distress and affecting your peace of mind, it would be important to discuss this in detail with your psychiatrist. They can help you manage these intrusive fears and reduce the cycle of anxiety and reassurance seeking.
Please consider reaching out to your treating psychiatrist for proper guidance and support.
