If falling on the street and having your arm potentially drenched in urine and feces was such a hazard, then why didn't God impose better sanitation laws?
Actually, if you read Leviticus, there were an astounding number of laws related to sanitation. Dietary requirements, where you could and couldn't go to the bathroom, how to quarantine those with illnesses, etc. etc.

And fair enough. Quite possibly, now that we have safer procedures, it isn't so much of an issue any more in God's eyes (though some people would argue there are other problems).
