I mentioned my work to explain that I am not grossed out easily overall. Sure, I could get splashed in the mouth or eyes and have been splashed on the body, but I had no wounds I was worried about and just showered and changed.

The food thing has been with me as long as I can remember. Its totally an autism thing but to be more specific, I think adherence to clearly defined "rules" about food safety is comforting especially if I am stressed out overall.
