Yes, it was rude of her. I understand why you couldn't say anything in the moment, but please speak up if it happens again. "I have a thing about sharing food. I prefer to serve you before I eat, so there's no accidental contamination."

You're not going to die if you catch an opportunistic bacteria or virus from her mouth. But you can get annoying things, like Herpes simplex. So, best to avoid.

Okay, technically true, but I think anyone this fussy has no business eating out . Ever been in a restaurant kitchen?  Do you share popcorn at the movies? Both of your hands were in the chip bowl, unless you asked for tongs. Are you immunocompromised? Your friend had bad manners but no way would I out myself as a parsimonious, uptight germaphobe by asking her to reimburse you for meal. [/quote]

Sigh. DP, and I would eaten the lobster anyway, minus that small section, but surely you can understand that hands in popcorn/chips are different than using a fork that’s been inside your mouth.[/quote]

Well, I suppose one of the differences is that hands are much more likely to have E. coli.  Hands transmit a lot of bacteria and viruses and don’t have the enzymatic benefit of saliva.
