Herpes whitlow from finger sucking
A random girl was flirting with me and grabbed my hand and sucked on my finger. Literally was for a second. Can I get herpes whitlow from this? No open cuts on my finger but maybe like a small out of place cuticle I guess.

In theory, it's possible, but it's really, really unlikely. Most people who get whitlow are medical professionals, like dentists, who have their fingers in people's mouths.
I wouldn't give it another thought.

Thank you! I asked Terri Warren and she said chances were one in a billion and to not worry as well. I appreciate your help. Thank you!
You're welcome! :)
