Am I at risk of contracting leprosy?
A few days ago, I bought tissues from a woman because she looked like she needed help. After that I suddenly had a thought what if she had leprosy (because she showed some symptoms of it). I took the tissue packets and did not wash my hands, then I even drank my bottle with my unwashed hands? Could I be infected via this route? Can it spread through touch saliva, etc? Please help me, this issue is driving me crazy, I'm worried that I might infect my family members too. Thanks and please help
