I just spilled a bunch of 28mg juice all over me. It was completely coating on hand and ran down my leg. I washed it off as quickly as I could, maybe 1 - 2 minutes afterwards. Is this dangerous? I already feel a little queasy.
Do I need to worry about nicotine OD?

At 28mg I don't think you have to be too worried.
Drink a lot of water, which you should do anyway, to help fluh your system and make sure the area that was spilled on is
Completely clean.
This is Exactly why people should wear gloves when working around High Nicotine Base. ie 36mg or Higher.
Thanks, I'm already feeling better. I was just panicking for a second. I was transferring liquid from a large container into my dropper bottle and didn't realize the funnel was not opened properly. So, I lifted the funnel and it ran over onto my hand and leg.
I think we all have had a Fat Finger moment when working with e-liquids.
One thing I do which has saved me when a Bottle decides to lay over on it's side for no reason. And that is to work over a Oven Sheet Pan.
So even if I spill or knock something over, the spill is contained in the Sheet Pan. It's nice also because I can put things down on it like Eye Droppers or Lids without worring about getting anything on my desk.
And when I'm done, I just rinse it off and pop it in the Dish Washer.
Its finger lickin' good!
Seriously,no worries...maybe an headache (in extreme conditions) no worst than after a hot night in town.

You should be fine, as stated, but make sure you clean up thoroughly if you have small kids or curious pets running around.
a smoking/vaping adult probably won't absorb a lethal dose dermally from a little spill of a relatively low concentration, but the little critters running around COULD.

Oh nooooo, you lost soo much e-liquid! Really, the only thing to be concerned about as already stated is pets and children. Otherwise, a quick rinse avoid vaping for a few hours, and drink plenty of water and you'll be fine.
I was going to say "Don't worry and welcome to ECF"... then I spotted your join date. Things like this happen when you don't post enough. It's Karma. E-cigs and juice are rebelling for your lack of participation. 
If you're really worried about it... gloves + sheet pan.
