What Causes Numbness In Tip Of Left Thumb?

The tip of my left thumb has been numb for about two weeks now. No pain, what's wrong?
I work in retail so no real repetitive movements to indicate carpel tunnel but I did make meringues for my dad several times this week with an electric beater for his birthday. Maybe that struck a nerve?
