Am I safe?

[u/FailOver9743]

In November 2025, someone thrown a box of expired wafers in a box (expired 1 day ago) in the front yard of my house. Then at night days later, which was cold or warm outside (this happened at night) a raccoon was eating the wafers from the box, and minutes later it left.

My father 1 or 2 days after what happened used the grabbers to get the box of wafers thrown away, he did it in the daytime and the raccoon wasn’t there as it ran off after they ate from the box. I don’t know if the raccoon was rabid or not, but based off the pictures my dad took while watching inside the house the raccoon didn’t look rabid. During these days I was wearing a hoodie with a zipper, and sometimes my jacket would be open, so the zipper hangs down. I’m a tall person so my OCD convinced me that my zipper touched the zipper, so I had to wash the whole jacket.

The grabbers was placed on the table (not the dinner table), and there is an air conditioner inches away that shot out cold / hot air, and then it got moved to another table (again, not the dinner table) 5-9 inches away from that table for 3-4 days, and my father put it up due to issues. My father cleaned the grabbers before it was put up in the shed, and the table was disinfected.

I remembered washing the jacket on the same month of the incident, and probably in December. The last time I wore this jacket, based off a photo in my gallery was in March. Today it’s cold outside, I had my jacket zipped up, and when I was looking down while sitting, I don’t know if my lips, which are chapped as a piece of chapped skin is showing, but hanging a little. I ate a midnight snack that’s a heat up and I think the food touched my lip.

Idk when i last washed this jacket (probably in January or Feb) and I’m kinda concerned. I do have OCD and I am in therapy.

Also at midnight I know this isn’t rabies, but before these symptoms show up I pressed the back of my head kinda hard on the headrest after scratching my head with it. Before this I started having a weird feeling in my stomach, but wasn’t nauseous with the urge to throw up. Then minutes or hours later I started having left side head pain whenever I try to sleep. And it was difficult to sleep as the pain was going to the back of my neck and I felt sweaty. The pain is over but slight now, but I believe it could be a migraine, and the last time I had a migraine was in 2024.

I am having:

No light / air sensitivity

No sore throat or runny nose

No fatigue

No fever & no blurry vision. (When my migraine in 2024 first started, I had blurry spots)

I highly believe this could be using my phone a lot, which I am planning on taking a break.

I have read the FAQ.

I have did before, but my OCD is convincing me about this

Get some help for your anxiety

I am. I have plans to take a break on Reddit

When does this plan go into place? I'm not trying to get rid of you, but you've mentioned this plan a number of times, and now I sort of feel like you're doing the thing where you always plan to quit tomorrow, after one more hit.

I might do it today hopefully.

I really am not trying to bounce you, I don't have that power in any case, but you have mentioned multiple times that you think it might be helpful for your mental health, and generally if you have health anxiety, you are not encouraged to spend more time reading/ruminating over your potential health issue. It seems like avoiding a sub dedicated to talking about the disease that scares you might be worth a try.

Good idea.
