Paranoid of getting Viruses. |
|
Dear Ask The Doctor: Hello Doctor. I'm very afraid of getting any viruses. The reason why I am here today is because I saw a bunch of dust-like particle, about the size of ant's head, on top of a coke I drank, which I just got from a fridge. Should I be worried of getting virus this way? I get paranoid easily, and I want to ask you to get confirmation. Dear Michael: This does not worry me from a infection stand point. The risk you just mentioned would be considered very low risk. If your fear of viruses is consuming your thoughts or effecting your behaviours, a visit with a psychiatrist is recommended to rule out potentially treatable conditions such as obsessive compulsive disorder or any specific phobias. |
