Should you ever really be worried about anything? I mean, does worry ever actually help a situation?

You're overreacting massively. You might get a minor infection, but you almost certainly won't. I hate to break it to you, but you're surrounded by potential sources of infection all the time, day to day. You just happen to know about this specific one. If you have a healthy immune system, nothing bad is going to happen to you over this incident.
