... as long as you don't actualy touch it while it's powered up, you 
should be safe...

Manipulating that, I'd be more concerned with geting a scratch and 
needing a tetanos shot.

  Isn't it a bit too late if you get the shot afterwards?

  And besides, isn't being vaccinated against tetanus kind of standard
almost everywhere?

Actually, it's not.

There's a tetanus vaccine, but also a tetanus cure.  You can basically get 
the tetanus in you and supress it before it causes ill effects like lock-jaw.

Well, the vaccine is easy.
The cure is a way to hell: removal of healthy parts around the wounds
(up to 2 cm of clean parts after the wound... what was the size of your
finger ?), heavy medication and continual analysis (nearly: every 4
hours...). It might turns the shortest way is using curare and
mechanical ventilator when it start to contract a lot.
Also, during the 4 to 6 weeks of cure, the intake must be raised to
3500/4000 calories per day... (remember an healty women would take 2000
on average, 2500 for a man and IIRC, something like 3000+ is for working
outside and moving charges), not something easy in the dangerous
countries which already lack the vaccine.

Well, there's a shot you can get after you've been poked with a rusty nail 
and before the symptoms set in. I wouldn't imagine a vaccine at that point 
helps. Once the symptoms set in, yes, it's much harder to fix.

It's actually a shot combining both a vaccine (intended to "jump-start" 
an immune response ASAP) and antibodies (intended to keep the infection 
under control until the immune response sets in).
