    In our daily lives, we accidentally break our fingers. We will also feel pain after hurting our fingers, generally the wounds are relatively small, we will not study these wounds, just rub alcohol, iodine phor, hydrogen peroxide for simple disinfection, it no longer bleeds and does not care. But not all wounds can be solved with this method, there are many small wounds, which we do not take care of carefully, which eventually leads us to suffer from diseases, and there is a bacterium in nature called Clostridium tetani.

    This bacterium can cause tetanus once it enters our wounds, so we must never ignore every small wound in our lives. A small inconspicuous wound is likely to take us a long time to go **. Of course, not all wounds will be infected with Clostridium tetani, so don't be too anxious.

    In the other case, a rusty iron needle pierces the hand, in which case a tetanus shot is necessary, and the tetanus bacteria may be infected inside. Therefore, within 24 hours after the injury, tetanus shots are the safest. If it is only a minor abrasion, there is no need for a tetanus shot, but if there is bleeding and the bleeding is relatively heavy, the tetanus vaccine is recommended.

    Disinfect with hydrogen peroxide promptly after injury, and skin testing is required for tetanus. Be careful not to eat spicy food after the injury, as it may cause inflammation, and it is best to take oral anti-inflammatory drugs to suppress the condition.

    1. The chance of getting tetanus depends on the severity of the rust on the nail and the depth of the wound.

    2. If the nail has been damaged, resulting in local bleeding, then there is a possibility of tetanus infection. The deeper the wound and the more rusty the nail, the higher the risk of tetanus infection. Timely local cleaning, followed by alcohol or iodophor disinfection, and timely tetanus vaccination is advisable.
