Could I catch an illness from a Reiki treatment?

If I go for a treatment with a Reiki Healer, could I 'catch' an illness from the Healer?
There have never been any reports of this happening. Assuming that general Health and Safety guidelines are being followed, Reiki Masters also treat themselves with Reiki on a regular basis and learn to move aside those things that could 'block' this transfer of energy to the patient - this ensures the treatment is an exchange of energy and nothing else. However, sometimes a person will have what is called a 'healing crisis'. As a person’s vibration goes up in a treatment, toxins that have been stored in the body will be released into the blood stream to be filtered by the liver and kidneys and removed from the system. When this happens, sometimes a person can get a headache or stomach ache or feel weak. If this happens, it is a good idea to drink more water, eat lighter meals and get more rest. The body is cleansing as part of the healing process so this is a good sign. We need your support... Help us to provide this service to the public by giving a donation.
