Germs
Yesterday morning, my boss said with anger, "I just lightly coughed a few times while I was on the train. Then, every last one of them gave me cold looks. It pissed me off! I'ｍ not a germ!" He’s cheesed off all morning.
At lunch time, I got some cups of yogurt from a colleague in another division. I gave them to my members. When I handed one to the boss, he gave me a disgusting look and said, "Did you wash your hands?" I said yes, then he was reluctant to take it.
I shouted in my mind.
"It's you~~💢 who treats us as germs. Shoot!"😂
バイ菌
昨日の朝、上司が怒って言いました。「電車に乗ってる時、ちょっと1、2回咳をしたら、どいつもこいつも白い目で見るんだ。腹の立つ! オレはバイ菌じゃないぞ!」午前中ずっとご機嫌ナナメでした。
ランチタイムに他部署の同僚からカップに入ったヨーグルトをいくつかもらったので、うちのメンバーにあげました。上司に手渡す時、上司はものすごくイヤな顔をして言いました。「手を洗った?」私が洗ったと答えると、渋々と受け取りました。
私は心の中で叫びました。
「お前だ〜〜! 人をバイ菌扱いすんのは! まったくもう!」

You wrote 1 or 2 times in Japanese, so 'few' does not work here. Few usually means more than 2 (3+). If you want to stay true to the nuance, then please look at the correction.

every last one of them gave me cold looks.

I'm not sick!"
バイ菌 is pretty ambiguous in Japanese. It can mean any kind of infection: viral (corona), bacterial, fungal
I think it would be better to say I am not sick here. We also don't 'I am not a germ' in English.

ご機嫌ナナメ - cranky, in a bad mood
I had to search what 'cheesed off' meant. Apparently it's a British expression. Since you mentioned pissed off, I would either use pissed off here or say cranky/in a bad mood.

Shoot! Shoot!
I think Fuck! would be better here, because it really expresses the anger that you felt. Shoot is mostly said for small things that aren't a big deal...
ex:
Shoot I forgot my bag in the car.
Fuck is another level higher than this:
Fuck! I forgot to print out my essay.

I think "Fuck" is far too vulgar... Instead, maybe "Crap" or "Damn/Damn it" or "Dang/Dang it", all of these are acceptable and normal to use in daily conversation and you won't risk offending anyone. "Fuck" is generally considered a very serious and "taboo" or vulgar curse in American English. Depending on who it is, you could offend people or seriously change their preception of you as a person if you use "fuck" often.
Considering the joking emoji you added, "shoot" could just be fine.

I have read that cursing isn't as frowned upon in Japan, and there are many curses that while normal and unoffensive in Japanese upon being translated are much more serious or vulgar in English. I suppose it's a bit of a cultural thing.

Why do you think it's too vulgar if she's expressing her feelings to herself/in her head? She's expressing her disbelief at the situation and I stand by my correction. You won't really say crap or dang it if you slam your fingers with a car door.
I also think the over usage of fuck (especially in the Bay area/Cali) makes the word less vulgar. Of course it's something you shouldn't say at a workplace and I should have probably clarified that.

It is a subjective matter so it all depends on the person. I agree that if she is expressing her feelings in her head then it's not necessarily "too vulgar".
However, I would say, considering when and why "fuck" is used, it is on much higher a level of irritation or anger than "shoot".
Kind of like going from "10 to 100" if that makes sense.
And there are defnitely places or communites where "fuck" is normalized and not considered as vulgar. But, as a learning speaker of English I wanted to warn her that it's not a light curse, and can be considered very vulgar elsewhere.(ie. tread lightly)
We should just be careful with these things when giving corrections, they're a bit sensitive and as you and I have both said, very sujective.
Yeah, all in context.

Hi Masemune and Xeta, thank you for thecorrection! I know I have to be careful when I use “fuck”. When I'm really irritated I'll use fuck. Other than that, I'll use damn it. I'ｍ happy I can learn slang words here because other applications and sites cannot be allowed us to use them😁

Yeah, definitely! ;)
