In terms of catching something viral you need not worry. The fundamental differences in biology/physiology between ectotherms and endotherms acts as a host barrier.

In terms of bacteria, your risk is the same as if you had stepped on a nail or something. Most likely candidate infections are Pseudomonas, Salmonella and Staph. aureus. Less likely would be tetanus, Strep. pyogenes and maybe Pasteurella.


Wash the site, treat with Neosporin and keep an eye on it. If it gets inflamed then go to the doctor.
