Brief Answer:
Just wash hands and disinfect it with alcohol.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and thank you for asking again.
I still don't think this can be a problem because the thumb has a very small cut and it doesn't look infected.
Even though you may have touched dirty towels the contact is very minimal.
Just wash the hand with soap and water,use alcohol to disinfect it.
I don't think you may need to do any tests.
