Wow, thank you for that info! I didn't know that. When I was 13, I slipped while fishing on Longboat Key and sliced my leg open on a barnacle. The cut was really deep and bled a ton, had to have 30 stitches in 3 layers. I remember they gave me a tetanus shot for it. At the time, I didn't question it. I'm sure it could have gotten infected from something, but probably not the tetanus bacteria.
