You will. I think it best to get your 2 snakes to me, before you go down hill to much. 
Seriously though, you should be ok.
We did have a discussion somewhere recently about Salmonella, http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6752
That should answer a few of the questions, but it's highly unlikely you will contract it from the snake.

Must admit that the thought of what Kellog has been sliding through in his substrate does not encourage me to try to taste him!!

They don't actually taste of much.
Unless dusted with a bit of salt, and some garlic dip. Yummy. |

back on topic (as this is something i've been wondering about my madagascan day geckos....) the main risk of salmonella is with tropical species that require high humidity eg. rainbow boas (and my maddies!!), as the 'bug' is kept alive in that kind of environment and is transmissable from rep to keeper.
corns are kept in a dry environment with humidity at normal UK levels so the risk of catching salmonella from your cornssnake is minimal however good hygiene procedures should always be followed.
having been quite ill with an unidentified 'tummy bug' for 12 days i was starting to think about salmonella as i must admit, my hygiene is very lax with the maddies.... |

So, sorry for worrying you hiper , but some good info has come out of it!!
