My sister bought me a hand carved decorative blow dart thing for the wall, when i opened it one of the 'darts' fell on my finger and felt sharp, that instantly made me anxious (could have dirt/bacteria on the metal tips).

I checked my finger but there was no sign of puncture, no blood - my finger just looked normal.

Since then it has been going over and over in my mind and making me more anxious. Im worried about the bacteria that could be on it getting into the blood stream, but surely if there is no visible puncture mark and no actual wound that I can see thats impossible right?

Sorry if this sounds stupid but it wont go out of my head.

I keep saying to myself that in order for that to happen there would surely need to be some sort of visible wound and/or at least to see some blood come from the finger.

I don’t think you have nothing to worry about at all. As you say there would be a noticeable ‘hole’ , blood and if there had been germs/infection then the area would be sore, raised, tender, throbbing – you get the picture.

Relax :)
