HEALTH CONCERN: What if i take a whiff of contam hpoo sub?

I was checking some bulk subs this AM and opened up a container to find that the hpoo/coir bulk had 5% growth after one week. My other bulks from teh same day are going strong. Because the bulk is hpoo it's hard to see any discoloration, so without thinking i took a whiff of the stuff to see if i could smell anything rank. It smelled kinda like hpoo with something else. Definitely not myc, but nothing horrid, but def something heavy smelling.

Then i thought, oh sheeat, i could have just inhaled some bacteria crap up my nose. I went and swabbed my nostrils with first hyd perx then alocohol. Am i ok or with i be deathly ill in a matter of hours?

Anyways, i sprayed the bulk down with bleach and tossed it. It's weird cause this strain had another contam in another spawn jar that i tossed and this spawn jar, before i spawned it, has some myc piss at bottom of jar that dissapeared. So the syringe was probably contamed, right?

you should be fine friend, I have sniffed some funky subs in my time and am still here. I wouldn't make a habit of it mind you use the scientific wafting technique next time...
Your syringe probably isn't bad, just walk down your sterile technique and check each step, you probably made a small mistake that can be corrected on the next grow. Sometimes you just have bad luck too though
