It shouldn't infect the memory stick. Linux Lite does not mount drives till you tell it to. I've cleaned Windows machines like my wife 's gear and her co-workers at City Hall with Linux Live USB before. This is one reason I get free gear like you do when City Hall upgrades.
It is their way of paying me for free tech support.
If just wanting to test without mounting the internal hard drive to make sure hardware works and the usb boots. I see no problem.
I might suggest you next boot up a

Just my 2 cents.
