A member asked:
I cut my finger with a razor by accident and was bleeding for a while. started preparing raw chicken. can i get poisoned if stuff got into the cut?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It is possible for bacteria from the chicken to enter the wound. Washing the area with soap and water thoroughly and monitoring its healing will be key. If you have any doubt or question, see your physician.
