Preventing massive infection is not overkill.
If you do go to an urgent care, there are two in the medical professional plaza near Lake Sumter Landing.
DO NOT use the one on the west end of the complex, as they do not have an actual doctor. The one one the east end of the complex does and even has X-Ray machines.
Sorry I can't remember their names, but just make sure you ask if there is actually a doctor on staff so that you can get any prescriptions you may need.
Good luck.
