Terrified i contracted hantavirus after flying

E4 Reddit (hantavirus search) · 2026-05-14 · United States

I know I made this post on another sub before, but I really really am worried now. This past weekend I went flying to LA for a family event, nothing too crazy, but then a friend of mine reminded me about hantavirus, and now I’m worried that I’m in the early stages after flying. Yesterday I could feel a sore throat developing, and today the sore throat got worse and now I’m all congested and I think that congestion is also adding to some nausea. I’m so terrified that my dumb ass decision just got me infected, and I’m going to end up dying and spreading it to all the people around me. I know that I’m probably reacting over nothing and that you can catch a whole heaping amount of things when you fly, but I’m still terrified because I don’t want to die. I can’t go anywhere to find solid answers or reassurance because news groups either “don’t have enough information” or they’re spouting the same shit they did during the early stages of Covid, and places like Reddit can’t ever make up their goddamn minds over whether or not it’s nothing and we should just calm down because it’s not able to spread as fast as Covid or if it’s all bullshit what the authorities and news are saying and that it is absolutely something to worry and panic about. I can’t fucking deal with the mixed messaging and uncertainty, am I fucking overreacting or did I somehow get near someone who had fucking hantavirus and now I’m going to be fucking dead in 40 days?????? I don’t know what to do, I know it sounds easy to just not look at the news or Reddit but it’s so damn hard to resist the urges to check so idk what else to do. submitted by /u/Reteller79 to r/Anxietyhelp [link] [comments]
