No worries. What I would worry about is all the micro-plastics you are eating now. Review sources online and act on what you learn. Minimize use of all plastics.

No. What you described will not have any short or long term effect on your health. 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, Flu and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
