Aerosol from bathroom
If someone has just taken a bath in the bathroom and I entered after 5 minutes. I felt water droplets in my nose, maybe the water droplets or aerosol which was still in the air in the bathroom. Since the water we use is from a borewell and is not treated, I worry about N Fowleri infection since I read about it. Can those water droplets or aerosol droplets get inside my sinuses or the olfactory nerves as I breathed in? I also happened to blow my nose on panic in trying to expel the drops from my nose. Will blowing nose cause them to reach the deeper areas like sinuses or the olfactory nerves. Please advise me and help me, I am very scared.

N fowleri infection is not that common… it happens mainly from swimming in water bodies… and it is not contagious from another person… if you are not having headache, fever, then no need to worry
