Worried about infection
Actually, I was shaving and after applying after shave I guess due to the strong smell, I felt like coughing so I put my hand on my mouth while coughing but I forgot my hands were still wet, and while coughing I felt water droplets or drops going in my nose with the force of the coughing. Now I am afraid that since the water I used is not chlorinated as it is from underground drawn from jet pump (motor pump) and not municipal water, since it is summer if N Fowleri is present in water can the water drops have gone far up the nose or reach the brain nerves to cause the infection?
