I can't stop thinking about it...

It's so bad I even remember the date! Now some people may say it's no big deal, but to me, it's horrifying! On 4/30/04 someone who worked at Napa Auto store was helping me put an air filter in my car, since I didn't know where it was because it's a new car. Well, he ended up needing my help holding something open for him. Well, I did, and he ended up cutting himself and I noticed blood dripping down my finger. Well, let's just say I freaked out! I knew it wasn't my blood. Well, it dripped down the side of my finger. I wiped it, rinsed it, etc. until it was off of my finger. I just can't stop thinking that he had all these diseases, and he gave them to me!!! Now, I didn't have one scratch on me. So, there wasn't any open wounds or anything like that. But, to me since it touched me, I can't stop worrying about it. Please tell me, it's nothing!!! It's been months now, and I've talked to so many people, and even a nurse and they say I'm fine, don't worry. Worse things happen to people all the time. As long as I didn't have a cut, there's no need to worry! I'm a worry wart to begin with. And everytime I hear something about a disease I start thinking about it again! AAAaaahhh!!! I'm driving my DH crazy! P.S... I always think there's something wrong with me, with everything!!! I need hugs!

I can't help you b/c I'm the same way...

But maybe it helps to know that others go through the same things...

I can go on and on and on with all my fears and quirks...

I think it's a new mommy syndrome...to worry excessively about germs and such....relax...you're fine.

I am sure you're fine. If it makes you feel better go to the doctor and get tested for everything.

I panic about stuff like that too.

nail salons... garbage in the streets... restaurants... public restrooms...

i can go on and on and on...

I would suggest the same thing. If it puts your mind at ease do it.

I'm sure you have nothing to worry about. See the doc if you are that upset about it.

I can TOTALLY relate, I'm a germ-phobe and would have reacted the exact same way ..

Many hugs to you ... i'm sure it'll be OK, but for ease of mind maybe just check it out w/your doc

If you are really concerned, get a full blood work up done. But I'm sure you're fine.

Does your dr. know you worry about your general health alot? I would bring that up to him/her as well.

Feel better
