Strep throat: If you develop a sore throat then see a provider for a throat swab to see if you have strep which requires an antibiotic

Exposure level: There are illnesses like chickenpox that you can get from breathing common air for 30 minutes in the same room.This is not that type of illness.It can pass in oral mucous, so if exposed to that in some way it is possible. If you develop a sore throat have it tested. If you had little or no direct contact I would quit worrying.
