plz help possible needle exposure

Hi haven't been on here in awhile but had a situation come up that made me nervous .      Ok so I work in loss prevention and had stopped a shoplifter for shoplifting and while checking her bag I found on Of those things drug users rapp around there arm and tons of what looked like disfection wipes and goze but when my hand was in purse I could have sworn I felt a poke but didnt see any needles and no blood on finger or nothing that looked poked on finger it was on top of finger that I felt it .I had to leave for the day before cops arrived but co-worker said cops found drug paraphernalia not needles thow but my mind keeps telling me wounder if there wasva needle they missed or a broken needle tip if that is the case. What would my risk be if no blood or my skin didn't look or feel pierced does it have to be deep enough to bleed? I know its stupid but plz enlighten me
