I just dropped a small pair of scissors on my toe...?


Question:
They are OLD little tiny grooming scissors and are rusted a bit and it went through my sock and poked a tiny hole in my big toe.

Do you think I need to update my tetness shot? I can't actually remember when I got one last?

Answers:
Don't take this as gospel but I don't think it's rust that does it. I'm pretty sure that "rusty things can give you tetanus" is just because if something is rusty it could have been outside long enough to get infected. If the scissors have been always inside it's probably not going to give you tetanus. But what could getting the shot hurt?
Yep.I would'nt take any chances. Better safe then sorry right?
