Can Accidental Ingestion Of Apparent Mold Cause Serious Medical Issues?

Hi so I m a germaphobe... And I had a 24 hr hand sanitizer that was running out so I added water. This morning it started to smell weird and I dumped it out and threw it away. There was something white in the bottom of the bottle and now I m worried it was mold. Now I m freaking out cause I remember it had accidentaly gotten on my mouth before or bed.
