Without thinking i handled raw beef and i have some very small open cuts on my fingers. i'm 17 weeks pregnant. could this hurt the baby?

Wash hands well: Thoroughly wash hands well with soap and water. Keep wounds covered with band-aids, dressings. Monitor for sign and symptoms of infections. Be careful taking medications as this may harm the fetus. Consult your ob-gyn before doing so. Call your doctor for further advice.
