Superficial scratch by a tailor pin, any blood borne virus risk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No problem: In real life, things like that happen every day and are not a worry. Just use common sense, and wash when truly needed. Life is full of uncertainties, and a person cannot live if she worries about all of the potential little day-to-day occurrences. As they say, "Don't sweat the small stuff."
