Please help me! In a state of panic

The other night I did something really stupidly and had a line of cocaine at a party, but this time remembered to use my own straw. The only problem is that I am starting to think that maybe the bread knife I used to cut the straw with might have had blood on it, for instance, someone cutting there finger on it beforehand and then (even after being washed) managed to scrape tiny or microscopic traces of blood onto my straw. I mean, how does one rationalize this? I feel like I am paralyzed by this situation (stuck between the rational and irrational). Am I over thinking this? Have I really put myself at risk for Hepatitis C? I would appreciate any insight. God bless

I have read all over the internet that Hepatitis C can only be infectious (outside the body) between 16 hours and 4 days.

I am not interested in HIV or Hepatitis A and B because 1) I can account for the knife not being used 4 hours before, which allows enough time for HIV to die) 2) I have been vaccinated against hepatitis a and b

P.S: I didn't notice any blood of the knife

why are you worried than bro? hepatitis virus is very sensitive and without laboratory temperature, i highly doubt the virus/bacteria could live. best bet would get tested. but from what you are saying, you don't have any worries.
