I asked a friend to help clean my USB stick, and they blew into it. Now I'm worried about whether any moisture could have gotten inside. I was so frustrated that I ended up yelling at them for a couple of minutes. Was my reaction over the top?

I get your concern, but moisture from just blowing isn't a big deal in most cases. Unless they were really excessive, it’s likely nothing to lose sleep over.
I mean, yelling at them might've been a bit much. They were just trying to help! It's good to be cautious, but blowing into it isn’t the end of the world.
Honestly, you shouldn't be too worried. Blowing into a USB port is a common way to clear out dust, and it’s usually harmless unless they were really spitting into it. A little breath isn’t going to cause any damage.
Exactly! People sometimes forget that tech needs a bit of care, but it's awesome that your friend tried to help out!
