I have done it twice already in the last month and a half... it blead like there was no tommorrow.. It healed up fine both times. Still a little sore on the last one but never an infection and I am diabetic. I wash my hands so much and wash dishes there is little room for infection. I just kept a bandaid on it till it was at the point it was kinda healing. I am buying either a guard for my ruler or one of those suction grippers, and maybe even a klutz gove but sure I would trust the glove, it does not look like it could stop a rotary blade to me but its supposed to. Good luck and I would not worry unless it kept on bleeding.
