It is extremely unlikely that any harm will come to your Linux Lite system reformatting the USB, however without fully zeroing it is possible to pass some nasties back to your MAC or Windows box even though you reformatted the drive with Linux. Not particularly likely but not impossible. It really depends on the type of code and application base vulnerability. Most things won't pass at all. Be best to know your definition, and AV provider.
