What will happen if you get cut by some rusty metal and you aren't up to date with a tetanus shot?

Answer #1

you have a chance of infection

Answer #2

GO AND GET ONE, and I agree with yasmin

Answer #3

You can develop tetanus (hence the name) which is not just an infection but a deadly infection of the nervous system if left untreated.

Answer #4

I’d add that the rust has nothing to do with the tetanus. You can just as easily get tetanus from any cut or puncture wound.

Answer #5

Thx I didn’t know that part

Answer #6

Most likely, if a wound is created, where rust has a role in entering exposed flesh. The infection would most likely come upon you. This could also cause blood poisoning, if you find a stretch of a red line across your arm and it gets bigger/longer, you need to go to the ER.
