Multiple Myeloma Spread
My father is recently diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma and I was checking his sugar level yesterday by Glucometer. Accidentally, the lancet that was used for him got injected into my finger and blood came out of finger. As an immediate action, I washed my finger by hand wash and poured Dettol on the spot.
My concern is since the lancet contained blood and pierced mine, will I be getting cancer as well or diabetes?

Greetings ,
Please understand both multiple myeloma and diabetes are non communicable diseases and will not spread by handling the patients .
Always use safety precautions like wearing a glove while handling needles, lancets , and blood products to stay safe in general
