This is fucking stupid. EO Ethylene oxide is commonly used to sterilize medical products after packaging and prior to shipment. Single use swabs are individually packaged in a porous media, then loaded into bulk outer shippers of corrugated cardboard, placed on a pallet, and then the entire pallet full of tens of thousands of swabs is passed through a sealed chamber filled with EO. It sits in the gas for a couple of hours so that the EO gas can migrate through all the packaging and kill everything that might be living on the swab. By the time that swab touches your skin the EO gas is long gone.
This woman is delusional if she thinks she is a medical investigator.
