Nicked finger with box cutter

[Matthew1233]

A very small nicj and there was a small amount of blood- I instantly cleaned with soap and warm water and put a plaster on it.

Will everything be okay? I'm worried about infection

yep all will be fine, you have done the right thing to wash it and put a plaster on it.

Thanks for the reassurance but I still cannot help worrying after reading things online

Don't read things online cos it will always say something bad.

Surely you have cut yourself before?

[nomorepanic]

and you never died or got an infection?

[Matthew1233]

No

When your own experience can be trumped by the anecdotal experience of others, perhaps it's time to stop reading about the anecdotal experience of others.
