Powder spread?

I put powder on my herpes outbreak this morning. I just used the restroom. When I went to pull my boxers up a cloud of powder went directly in my eye! I'm freaking out I just spread herpes to my eye from this

Herpes can absolutely not spread this way on powder.
Even so, you have immunity in the rest of your body. So no need for concerns.
