Stepped on something in parking lot that felt like a rock. no blood or obviously visible wound. fear that it was dirty and risk of infection?

No need to worry: I'm assuming you were walking barefoot when you stepped on something that felt like a rock. Since the object did not puncture the skin the risk of infection is extremely low. I think you have nothing to worry about. Enjoy summer safely. Best wishes.
