Am I overexaggerating or is it normal?

I found this article very interesting, especially section 5.2 in which milk and wheat are discussed as environmental triggers in Celiac Disease.

@trents hey i got one other question regarding the cashier job, do you think there could be air floating around where I am? Its a big supermarket, I will only work once per week in the weekends. Could there be some airborn flour from people who bought flour?

I think the cashier's job in the supermarket would be better than the fast food restaurant job.

You can always keep an M-95 mask in your pocket to use if you see someone purchasing sacks of flour in the grocery store.

The airborne gluten would be much higher in a restaurant where cooking makes gluten particles airborne. Stay clear of the bakery if the grocery store has one for the same reason.

Best wishes!

Theres a bakery, but its a big supermarket so the bakery is avoidable.
It just scares me to think theres flour in the air while I work as a cashier, but then again this would mean everytime I go buy grocery from a store I get glutened. (which isnt the case I believe as not all celiacs wear masks while purchasing grocery).

Do you think flour spreading out from its packages is avoidable if I scan them gently?
