May I ask something?(maybe it is OCD)

I got a disinfectant treatment on leg at the ER, but at that time right side of my body contacted with a hazardous disposal box (during operation) it was very small room. They throw away gauze or other things to that box. If there were syringes or needles in that box, and then there was possible contact am I at risk?
Actually I didn't feel any pain at that time but when I came back home, I found red spot on my right arm.
Im really worried.

I know what you mean. But your answer is not for my question.
They usually accumulate disposable syringe or other things in hazardous disposal box and then dump them at once.

1. My question is... the risk that if there was any possible contact of accumulated syringes or needles in the hazardous disposal box.

2. +)Worried about possible contact(that not happened) is OCD?

Your fears have no basis. Syringes and sharp edged disposable objects are never reused in any medical facility. Reusable objects are always sterilized before the next use without failure,,, Hospitals follow their SOP's very religiously.
