A member asked:

I opened a package of chicken and a drop hit my lip. would this make me sick? 2 hours later, 101 fever but no other symptoms. had fever thru the night and still do?

Your fever is likely to be unrelated to the exposure to water from chicken package. Two hours is too short a period for any infection from chicken to cause fever in 2 hours. If you are not vaccinated, you may wish to get tested for Covid-19.

Agree that you are not likely to be sick from the described incident, but rather from a possible previous contact in the community, with Covid and flu among usual suspects.
