It is possible to get an infection in any open wound if not treated, but if you wash it with soap and water, put some triple antibiotic ointment on it then bandage it, it should be fine. If you notice it gets inflammed (red around the wound) consult a doctor.

What should you do if poked by a Pyracantha thorn?
Don't use bad language (if anyone can hear you). Do help it bleed if it penetrated the skin. There is nothing poisonous about it, but some individuals may have a reaction to any puncture. These thorns are straight and stiff, often hidden along the stems by leaves, and will easily penetrate cloth or even leather gloves. They do not cover the stems and are not hooked to grab you, like rose or blackberry thorns, so can be avoided when handling the plant. But any accidental movement, of you or a branch, can give you worse than a poke. Its name translates as Fire Thorn.
