I accidentally pierced my finger while sewing, is it possible to catch any diseases?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but not common: Any time there's a break in the skin, whether from a paper cut, bug bite, or small puncture, there is a chance for infection. Pain, redness, warmth, and swelling can be signs of an infection.
