Help please I need advice from everyone

[Dude1238]

Hello guys good morning thank you for being in this wonderful forum. I hope no one will judge me on this im extremely terrified.i promise I never wanted to say what happened but I got to for advice what to do. Yesterday evening I had a urge to masturbate.so I got off of bed and went to my drawer.and got a pair of vinyl gloves that was on top of the drawer so I don't touch my penis with my hands.( Please note there is crack in my wall where my gloves are) I finished. Then disposed the glove and washed my hands.when I came back I saw a mouse trying to come out of the crack I was terrified. I know this is a new problem from someone that you guys never encountered before. But please what can I do. Do you think I introduced bacteria in my genital. Or a parasite from this thing. I think the mouse might of touched my vinyl gloves or something. Should I see a doctor. Maybe recommend a test? I swear you guys are always there for me. That's why I feel confident asking you guys. :) You guys are my friends.

If the mouse was trying to come out of the crack, and was still in the wall, then how could he have touched the gloves?

In any case, unless you had mouse droppings on your gloves, which you absolutely would have seen, you had no risk for any kind of bacterial or parasite issue.

If you wash your hands before masturbating with regular soap and water, you don't need vinyl gloves. It's okay to touch your penis with your hands.

If you feel better using gloves, try to get some latex gloves, and use new ones every time. Keep them some place where they won't be exposed to any critters.

And are you isolating right now? Then you have time to fix the crack in your wall. If a mouse can get in it, I'd think you're biggest problem is the foundation of your house.

And this is not an STD question. You can't give yourself an STD you don't have.

Sincerely and with compassion - do you have a therapist? It sounds like you might have OCD. I can't remember if I've suggested that before or not, but if I haven't, I am now. If I have, I'm repeating it and urging you to talk to a doctor.

Thanks sweety yes I'm not going to lie Im sure I have ocd. After all this current problem we have in the world  is done il be going to a specialist to help me with my ocd. Il be a different person. But just to keep me calm I'm not at risk right? Maybe you recommend a UTI culture test?  I just don't know if that could detect a parasite or just bacteria.?

I'm not an infectious disease specialist, but I see no reason why you'd have anything to worry about.

If you can get out to get a urine test, you can see a psychiatrist, right? If you're in a covid19 hot spot, loads of mental health specialists are doing telehealth. Check with your insurance company if you're in the US to see if it's covered, or google your area for telemedicine and psychiatry. For example, if you live in New York City, you'd google "nyc psychiatrist telemedicine". If you're in London, try "London psychiatrist telemedicine".

I'm also going to have this moved to our Infectious Diseases forum since I don't know much about mice and communicable diseases, and this isn't an STD questions.  

But really, get the OCD addressed.

H and thanks for your question. I don't see how you can get an STD from a mouse? You don't get STD's from mice droppings or mice only from sexual intercourse. This can be oral or genital. Oral is obviously less risky but has some risks. But these don't apply to your situation.  Wild animals like mice, can possibly transmit other diseases if they happen to have them. One is Hantavirus and also, rabies. Rabies is transmitted by getting bitten by the animal or having an open cut or sore and getting the saliva in it. So this doesn't apply either. Hanta is from the droppings of the animal. So it is best to not pick a dead animal up with your hands. Rather call the animal control or use gloves and a shovel and dispose of it. Wash your hands well and disinfect the handles of the handle of the faucet. But you have none of these exposures from what you mentioned. Stay safe if you have Coronavirus in your community. Stay 6 feet away from everyone you don't know or even friends if you don't know where they have been. You can get more information on this on the Coronavirus forum here on MedHelp or go to Corona virus on the CDC website.
