Zero risk. C. auris is unlikely to be in the soil, and even if exposed, nothing will happen if you are healthy with a normal immune system. You're obviously irrationally obsessed with C. auris. Are you germaphobic in general? If so, seek counseling: this can be an early sign of serious mental health disability. (See "The Aviator" with Leonardo DiCaprio.) Please stop asking on HealthTap.
