Can a doctor help?
Today at school we disected a frog. and my friend cut me with a probe,on "accident", and then i poked him with the tweezers.
i made him wash it off his hands cold water and soap and hand sanitizer. then a little bump appeared on his hand. it did not bleed or cut the skin. is anything going to happen to him?
SERIOUS ANSWERS

He may get an infection or blood poisioning and lock jaw so it should be seen by a doctor for a tetanus shot. Just because it was in water doesn't mean there were no germs on it.. It would be better if you had gotten some blood out of it. Hand sanitizer only kills about 40% of the germs. The label doesn't exactly tell the whole truth.

Unless there was a rusty tool the worst that can happen is he can get a local infection. He can soak his hand in warm water each night to decrease the chances of this. If he does get an infection he needs to have it looked at as it can cause an abscess
