If the food did not get wet, you are not at risk for any infection, including aflatoxin. Water on the outside of the plastic package is not a cause for concern. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV and Covid vaccines.
