my mother and law has diabietes so she leaves her used needles in a plastic container as i was cleaning up the living room because were moving i happen to see a plastic bottle but was unaware of what it was so i opened it and poured it on my hand as i saw my hand i saw they were her used needles so i quickly put it back in her container ... as i saw my hand i didnt notice a poke,scratch or any bleeding , nor did i feel it poke me but whats the chance of me getting infected with any diseases such as hep c or hiv ? would i have felt the needle poke me as i see they are really thin and fine and look like they go imto skin easily
