Remote: If you were to get any infection from this episode, you would know by now. The risk from residual chemicals is remote and not worth worrying about. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
