A member asked:
One of my friends rubbed a bandaid (that might have been used) they found onto a sharp object and stabbed me with it, would i have any diseases from this?

Some friend you have ! Very unlikely that you have been infected with any diseases. The sharp object depending upon its background might carry tetanus spores so hopefully your inoculation is up to date. Otherwise you are unlikely to have any problem with this.
