If ecoli got on my cuff of my sleeve on my dress shirt, do i have anything to be worried about?

No: Usually you need to ingest the organism and it does not live long on a piece of cloth Also your immune system needs to be weakened to get infected We are exposed to the E Coli often and usually do not get sick You should be fine without any problems
