I touched raw chicken and i forgot to wash my hands after and i ate an ice cream sandwich which my hands touched. will i be sick ?

Probably not: Such brief, superficial contact carries little or no risk of salmonella, campylobacter, or other infections associaed with contaminated chicken. Cook chicken well and wash your hands after preparing it. Otherwise don't worry about it.
