Can I get an infection from biting myself?

Heh, strange topic, I know. Anyway, I consider myself a pretty laid back, easy going type of guy almost all of the time. However, when I lose my temper, I really lose my temper. Usually this occures when I'm playing video games (counter-strike), working on computers (fucking small parts), or working on my car (fucking BMW). Of course, I will always get a lot more pissed off if it's hot, I can't stand the heat.

So anyway, I usually bite my index finger in my right hand when I get pissed off as to avoid punching myself in the head or breaking something (cell phone, keyboard, remote, etc). I was working a computer the other day it was like 95 degrees and this thing just wouldn't cooperate so I bit my finger... but I bit it pretty hard. I broke the skin and it really hurt but it was bleeding, so I thought nothing of it.

Well I woke up the next morning and it was all filled with puss and swollen and hurt to touch it really bad. I had to go all through school like this, it sucked. So when I got home I set myself up in my bathroom with a brand new, sanitized razor blade, some antibiotic soap, a tube of neosporin, cotton balls and a box of band aids. I cut finger up and it was pretty messy, blood, puss and skin everywhere. I did do a good job though, nice and neat when it was all done. Cleaned it really well and I was set. I woke up the next morning and now it's just a small scab, no swelling and doesn't hurt.

Ok, so did I infect myself by biting myself? I know you can get diseases from dogs, cats, other animals, but I didn't think you could get it from youself, lol. Well my friends thought this was kind of strange, so I figured I'd see what you guys had to say about it.

PS> Sorry for the long post
