Fear of dying of Air Embolism?

[JustBenn]

Hey

I'm an 18 year old male.

I was cleaning my laptop with compressed air/gas, the lid for the can was cracked, so I went to put the lid on and some air shot at my fingers through the gap of the crack.
Now im scared that I did some damage and would be dead by tomorrow?

Im worried, its Saturday so my local doctors surgery is closed.

I scared that an air bubble went inside the blood, I'm literally thinking the worst and am waiting for my death to happen.

How long does it take for air embolism to kill you?
Is it instantly or slowly?

Thanks

No you can't get it like this. It has to be injected into the body - not absorbed by it

Yes you would be dead by now as well

You are fine

.....think rationally, how could the air bubble get into your blood ? There is your finger to get through first ! The compressed air would have it your skin and that is as far as it would have got.
