Just got Fifth Disease, should I be concerned about growing?

I just got my spore syringes today in the mail, YAY! But starting this monday I thought I had a allergic reaction to something. Turns out I have a minor virus called Fifth Disease. It will be in my system for the next two to three weeks. Should I be worried about growing my shrooms with this illness?
I am already planning on using gloves and a face mask, will that be enough or should I not even bother starting? I don't want my spores to sit too long unused.
Also, the doctor said it wasn't contagious...but someone today just told me they caught it from someone. I have the rash, but no symptoms, and I just read online that it is contagious...but only until the rash appears. The odd thing is, I never got any symptoms, just the rash.
What do you guys think?

"Fifth disease is highly contagious. A person with parvovirus infection is most contagious before the rash appears - either during the incubation period (the time between infection and the onset of symptoms) or during the time when he has only mild respiratory symptoms. Because the rash of fifth disease is an immune reaction (a defense response launched by the body against foreign substances like germs) after the infection passes, a child is usually not contagious once the rash appears.
Parvovirus B19 spreads easily from person to person in fluids from the nose, mouth, and throat of someone with the infection, especially via large droplets from coughs and sneezes. It can also be spread through shared drinking glasses and utensils."

"Fifth disease (erythema infectiosum) is a viral illness caused by parvovirus B19. It's especially common in children between the ages of 5 and 15 and usually produces a distinctive red rash on the face, body, arms, and legs. Parvovirus B19 is a human virus - it is not the same parvovirus that veterinarians may be concerned about in pets (especially dogs) and cannot be passed from humans to animals or vice versa."

That's what I was thinking, just make sure you don't sneeze all over your shrooms and give them to anyone else.
