Fingernail scratch
While giving money to beggars near temple, I got fingernail scratch from one of them due to heavy crowd. Later I realised that blood too came out. I'm so worried as I don't know the condition of that person's nail whether he was having any nail infection or dirty nails. The scratch is not deep but yes it was bleeding. What should I do?? Should I take it very seriously?? Help me out ASAP please
