Mites (reptile expo)

Anyone have any advice? I just went to a reptile expo and was checking out some reptiles. I held some large snakes and bearded dragons. I did use hand sanitizer and I tend to be a very clean sanitized person regardless however. We were holding a large reticulated and he was moving around our torsos and clothes. After coming home we did feed our beardie and hold him for a second as he tends to go nuts over bug day. Do I need to worry about transferring snake mites to him from our clothes? How high of a risk is this?
