Healthcare workers routinely treat patients that carry infections. There is no way of predicting what germs you may encounter when treating a patient or what illness they will have. What precautions are you taking to protect yourself from the unknowns of your everyday job?

I like to wash my hands.

Required immunizations for certain pathogens...and as bluntly stated above...proper hygiene 😛

if you're a germaphobe...well, you're going to be around lots of nasty stuff, better get used to it

There are standard precautions you will learn. I.e. when to wear gloves/masks/etc. So don't stress too much. And wash your hands a lot.

Germs don't exist but pathogens do; universal precautions and good handwashing.

Optimize your vitamin D blood levels (minimum 50 ng/mL). There's convincing evidence for this...check it out.
