Possible p. multocida infection by dog saliva on my hand, going to watch out for symptoms. can i pass the infection onto others during this time?

Please clarify: You either have an injury or infection or you don't. Skin is a perfect barrier to infection in general. Do you have sores? Any evidence of infection? If not then please do not spend one more second worrying.
