Hello, have a friend who uses a cloth handkerchief....anyway, tonight he went to shake my hand, and i shook his. Never really thought about it until after. he regularly uses a handkerchief.....if I sanitized my hands once out of vision form him do you think I could get sick? I've also washed my hand pretty good since then, and sanitized them again...

The only way you're going to get sick from someone else's germs is if: they breath on you, you shake hands with them and then touch either your nose, eyes or ears. As long as you keep your distance from people who are sick, wash your hands frequently, and keep your hands away from your nose, ears, and eyes, you should remain germ free!!

That's what is recomended.
The problem might come from when you might have touched your eyes or your mouth before you sanitized your hands.
Also your own immune system will come into factor of how quickly you get a cold

Practise good hand washing and have some sanitizer handy and you'll be fine.
