Contact local doc: Your risk is minor, but you may want to contact your doc. Sometimes local health departments advise preventive treatment in some exposed persons so they don't become unwitting carriers of a mild case. This varies by local and level of exposure.It may also depend on your level of contact with others. (like small babies)
