DS may have put raw chicken juice in his mouth

I am freaking out right now and I am not sure what to do. While I was preparing lunch, my 2 year old DS pulled the raw chicken pack (which was empty but had the juice in it) down off the counter and started playing with it. I had my back turned but he could have had it for up to a minute before I turned around and saw what he'd done. I immediately panicked and wiped his hands with a dettol wipe but I have no idea if he put his hands in his mouth before I realised what he'd done.

Should I call 111 now or just wait and see if he gets sick? Has anyone else had experience with something like this in a young toddler? I am so scared. Sad

He would only get ill from it if the chicken was actually contaminated with something in the first place which is extremely rare in this country. And even if that were the case, the miniscule amount he'd ingested would have little to no effect. He'd probably just throw up/have a couple of dodgy nappies. Nothing to worry about at all.

There's nothing 111 can suggest other than to look out for symptoms. A bit of juice is not as bad as actually eating raw chicken so chances are he'll be fine. Wash hands with soapy water and wipe anywhere that the juices may have landed

Ok thank you...I need to calm down. He's my PFB and don't want him to be unwell or worse. Googling only made me panic more.
