Will i get or spread any diseases to my newborn or older children from stepping on someones spit in? i put sanitizer on the ground & rubbed on soles

You should be fine!: Most infections are spread by hand to mouth contact or by aerosol when someone sneezes into the air. You have gone a step further by using sanitizer. Just remember to wash hands before cooking or eating handling your infant.
