Shawarma Risk

Yesterday i had a cut in my gums for excessive brushing my teeth in morning, last nigth we ordered a shawarma in restaurant here in middle east, i forget that i had a cut in my gum so i ate the sharwama, the sharma is hot that time and roll in a foil,

Do you think i have risk if contracting hepatitis virus here, if the service crew that prepared my shawarma had a cuts in his hand and bis blood goes to my shawarma and i ate the shawarma after 15 minutes from preparing the food, because i had cuts in my gums that time,

If everyone who eats out at restaurants after brushing their teeth and some
brushing to hard got hepatitis C…. we all would have hepatitis C.   I have had hepatitis C and now cured.  I'm extremely careful about reinfection of any kind.  This isn't something I would even been concerned about.  You are
fine.  
  

Best to you.
