What Will Happen If The Finger Is Pricked With A New Syringe?

I accidentally pricked my finger with a new syringe with 12 units of Novolin N in it for my dog. I was putting the cap back on (to give to her after she ate) and the needle went through it. What will happen to me? Oh by the way I did not give her that dosage, I used a new syringe for her so there wouldn t be any chance of bacteria. Thank you.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern from the history given here I could say that if the your finger is being pricked before you give a shot to your dog then this is nothing to worry take care for septic only and for that pricked side need to be kept under observation, though the chances of septic is very minimal so no need to worry about this, hope this information helps you, have a nice day.
