A street dog comes to my house and sleeps, it seems to be healthy. But an incident happened yesterday. I was removing a tick from its furs when I noticed that it was blood on the tick's spot, and to be mentioned here, I was pulling it with my bare hands. While I was removing the tick I noticed that my on my finger there was a skin tearing very minimal but it was there and minimal amount of blood was on it. My question is am I at any risk of getting any infection from the blood. After it I washed my hand with soap via running water.
