Today I cut myself on some rusty metal, it bled, but I put iodine on it right away and covered it with a plaster. Do I have to get a tetanus booster (or anything else) or will I be ok? (It's only a little cut)
When was the last time you had a tetanus shot? I would go to the Doctor to be on the safe side because you don't want to get bacterial poison from that rusty metal. Take care.
Actually it's 7 years. My doc knows that I walk barefoot all the time and updates my on my tetanus shots. Make sure that your is up to date. You don't want lock jaw.
in case you have had a tetanus shot interior the final 5 years you're good to bypass. nonetheless positioned an antibiotic ointment on it by using fact possible get an infection from the shrink, and wrap it up.
yes if you did not have a recient tentina shot it could kill nerves and musscle in your arm or where ever you got cut if it turnes green and black go to the hospital
