Right, this sounds abit like OCD, which if caught early enough may not take over your life. Why don't you go see your GP and explain you have a irrational fear of germs. And honestly, if you DID catch something from the window ledge, it would probably be so insignificant and tiny, your body has destroyed it without you even noticing. big up the power of your immune system, which gets STRONGER the more germs you conquer ( within reason obviously).

babe just apply anticeptic cream frequently and was plenty.. its is highly unlikely but if you feel faint which you havent mentioned or are suffering from anything unusual theres no harm in getting it checked out.. just keep it clean consistantly and air tight you should be fine im pretty sure..

sounds more like you have an anxiety disorder, or ocd . a hypochondriac believes he or she are all ways in pain. they go to many doctors, but no on can find anything wrong with them. their pain is in their head, but their pain is as real as real pain from a psychical disorder. you need to seek professional help for your self hope this helps you

Go see your doc about a tetanus shot. Think that's about the worst you could catch, but while you're there, ask the doc what they think.
