My 80 yo mother cut her finger cooking the other night. Went to hospital. No stitches, but she gladly accepted a tetanus shot. It was a kitchen knife, not a rusty nail. Idiot.
Yeah last time I cut my finger with a kitchen knife (a cut so clean it didn't even start bleeding for several seconds) I didn't even go to a doctor. Poured some peroxide on it, bandaged it up tight, and it had already sealed itself up a couple days later. Didn't even get infected.

Tetanus can enter the body through any cut, including a rupture from a nail. It has nothing to do with rust.
However, unless you're in the feces-infested trenches of WWI, tetanus is no danger to you.
So she's still dumb.
Yeah, she wasn't stabbed by a rusty manure fork.
Now THAT'S quite the visual !
Like the handle. Used to love MAD MAgazine back in the day. Is it still a thing?
Even if it had been a rusty nail, too late for the vaxx! 🙄
She has a Fauci bobblehead on her desk. What can I say?
Correct , what a scam

When was the last time you've ever heard of anyone getting tetanus?
Exactly.
My hubbies grampa died of tetanus, family said it was horrible.
I'm sure it is. But he likely was around farm/animals where the pathogen can thrive. I'm just guessing.
