Answers:
Yes....you should have a tetanus shot. And by the way (for the moron who answered earlier)...Tetanus is NOT from rust and can be acquired from animal bites!! It is bacteria that is found in soil. Even gardeners can contract it. You should have a doctor look at your wound if it was deep. Also, iguanas can carry Salmonella!

Tetnus shots are for blood poisining. And animal bite can cause that so yes you should be up to date if you've been bite by any animal..They say 10 years usually you shoul have one more frequently than that. My hubby lobsters and gets alot of infections due to the bait. His doc has him have one every 5 years and hes gotten blood poisining twice and had to have IV antibiotics.

Iggies carry salonella only if you dont keep their living space clean. but, bacteria is bacteria and should be taken seriously a whip from his tail can cause a bacteria infection too if it brakes skin. I and my grandkids get bit all the time
If you don't see a doc keep it very clean and watch for redness & swelling get to a doc the minute you see either of these
Also don't stop picking up your Ig because he will continue to bite just because he will know he gets away with it.
You can get tetanus from an iguana bite. Tetanus is most often found in soil. The iguana itself may not carry it but whatever gets into that bite can infect it.
If you get bit so many times, a little tetanus shot shouldn't bother you.
not really your iguana thinks your hand is food but if is deep then probaly you should get a shot
