Can u catch herpetic whitlow from shaking hands?

[narutochan]

So my friend had her birthday and i shook her hand.
So she had a red dot a last week under her nose, and i asked her what that is
She told me bacteria, claiming it isnt herpes.
Ok so nevermind, after shakiang her hand today i saw dots on her hand (thought it might be herpetic whitlow).
I dont have any bigger scratches on my hand, but if it was herpetic whitlow is there a way i couldve contracted it.
Another little question if i may ask is, i was having dinner with a friend who has a herpes outbreak aaand when she talked a droplet of her spit felt on corner of my lips, and i took a napkin to take it away. It was inner corner.
Could i contraact oral herpes that way?

You will not get whitlow by shaking hands like you describe qnd no you will not acquire hsv1 from her drop of spit. You swem overly concerned about things that are no risk at all.

Hey, wanted a update on your experience. Any new information on the contraction of whitlow through handshakes?

i just noticed the part of my pinky closest to knuckel is dry and red, so wonder if that hightens the chance of catching heroetic whitlow
