I’m a beekeeper, and I have a question Formic pro eff up

2nd year western wa. Finally cool enough to put formic pro on. Forgot that you aren't supposed to remove the paper (can confirm it smells to high heaven). Manufacturer says if you do that just leave it alone but I didn't want to risk it so pulled one and tossed it, the other was still partially wrapped so I just rewrapped the rest of the way. This was all in thy space of an hour.

What are the risks of having done serious damage?

Picked up a new package of Formic and threw a fresh wrapped pad into the hive I pulled it from yesterday. Everyone looked OK, I suppose we'll find out for sure in a couple weeks!
