Likely fine: How hungry were you that you were eating fries out of the trash can? If you are healthy with an intact immune system you will likely be fine. There are just as many germs at a public restroom and we know many of you still don't wash your hands before you go eat that stadium hot dog.

You should be fine: Your body is prepared to handle most bacteria that enter the stomach. Relax. If you really want to get scared, come to MY house, where we pray AFTER we eat! You will be OK!!!

Nothing bad: Viruses like the cold virus can live on objects and be passed that way - so you could end up with a cold or a GI virus. Similarly, certain bacteria can be present as well that you could catch and get sick from. Fortunately, none of the "bad" viruses like HIV, Hepatitis or Herpes can be transmitted that way. Hand hygiene!
