	You're at risk only if there was "disease" on the floor where it fell. Otherwise, it may be gross, but you'll be fine.

	Unless a dimwitted terrorist slipped and released smallpox on the surface of your floor while using your home as part of his escape route, you should be fine.

	If you work in an infectious disease control center and you dropped the spoon in the deadly virus vault while there was a broken container near then yes you're screwed. If all this took place at your house, apartment of whatever then you should have no worries.

	yes the guy who said you'll obtain aids was joking. it actually takes a while for bacteria or viruses to attach themselves to a spoon. and even if they did, it still wouldn't work too good, your stomach takes care of the bulk diseases that come from your mouth. you would be fine. the only technique you would have to worry will be if your immune system was already weak. but you should be fine
