Can ds catch anything through an open wound?

Ds (2yrs) fell and bit his lip this morning, it's still open and bleeding a bit now.

Anyway, we've just been out and while I was old man bent down into ds' buggy and touched his cut in order to inspect it I think. His hands were filthy, and I'm absolutely livid, mainly because I'm scared ds will have caught something from this man as his dirty hand directly touched ds' cut.

I'm now having images of bugs and germs entering ds bloodstream now and am nearly beside myself.

Since I've been home I've put on some antiseptic cream (about an hour after the man touched him). But is it too late? Can ds catch anything nasty this way?

Or is it me being a bit OCD about it all?
