A member asked:

Boil water order in neighborhood. accidentally turned water on hands for split second. washed hands with bottle water and soap 2x. will i get sick?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely: Boil water order is done to kill bacteria in DRINKING water. As long as you did not drink the water you should be ok. Also you used the universal precaution by washing your hands with bottled water and soap which helps preventing spread of ALL germs (bacteria and viruses.)
