Sneezed in Food

[StrongerThanCeliac]

Probably a very dumb question. 
 

But if I sneezed in my food and continued to eat it, is there anyway I could get glutened from my own snot?

Well let me start by saying I hope you don’t sneeze in or on anything food included😁thats what cover your mouth is for(not to spread your germs or virus’s and to protect your food and everybody else from your sneeze/germs and your food as well! So if you by chance don’t cover your mouth when you sneeze which I hope you do, if not now maybe you will in the future? If your eating gluten free food and do sneeze on it😳you should be fine as long as you have not snorted gluten somehow first or ingested it prior in anyway but I may be wrong? Doubt it! So you should be ok because your nasal passage and snot…”how you put it” should not contain any gluten. Haha Good Luck☘️

Lol thanks. I was by myself at home and the sneeze came out of nowhere. I think we swallow our own mucuous all the time anyways?

If you are gluten-free everything that comes out in your sneeze should be too! If the person next to you were eating gluten an sneezed all over then you may have a potential issue, but the overall risk would likely still be pretty small, but certainly not zero.
