A member asked:
A lipstick was put on me at a makeup counter it was dipped in water, wiped with a tissue, and applied with a disposable brush. could i catch anything?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: If the water was contaminated then the lipstick could have gotten contaminated from contact with the water. At least the brush was single use and I hope the tissue was too.
