Welcome to our Forum. Your question is one that we are asked frequently. My answer to you is the same as it has been numerous times before. The hypothetical situation that you describe could theoretically lead to infection but I am unaware of any proven cases in which this has occurred and there are many reasons to believe that many factors like the blink reflex and resistance of mucosal surfaces to infection make infection in the way you suggest virtually impossible. Should an exposure of this sort occur, I would tell you that it was a no risk event and that I see no realistic reason for testing. Thus the exposure would put you theoretically at risk in the same way that you could theoretically be stuck and killed by a meteor falling from space while reading this reply. It simply is not something to be concerned about.
If this is something you worry about, you should not and I hope that this reply is helpful to you. EWH
