Blood exposure : Unless your pinky nail region has an open sore or highly cracked skin, it is highly unlikely that you were exposed to blood. Normal skin and nails form an excellent barrier to pathogens in the world around us. That said, next time, wear rubber or latex gloves whenever you clean up bodily fluids. Washing your hands after cleaning up, even when you wear gloves, is good too.
