Brief Answer:
Mostly no problem will happen but monitor yourself for 24 hours

Detailed Answer:
Dear Ms,

the first thing is you should through away the food you cooked without washing your hands. second you did right by brushing your mouth . the amount that got in contact with your mouth should be a very small amount. this should not cause any problem. but you should monitor yourself for the next 24 hours. if you experience shortness of breath or muscle weakness then you should go to the hospital .

I hope I answered your question . if you don't have any other clarifications then please close the discussion
