Cleaning Table - Hand touched spilled drink and crumbs
As I was cleaning a messy table left by my friends, I was moving all the peanut crumbs into the garbage using my hand. Am I at risk of contracting anything?
Also, there was spilled liquid on the table (alcohol) that may have been spit out by people. My hand accidentally touched that too. I immediately washed my hands. Should I be worried???

To the first question, unless you cut your hand you would have an infection by now due to the trash not by the peanut crumbs etc. If not cut and no infection (redness, swelling, pain, fever. You are fine. As to the second question, you have no exposure.
