DITTO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, I even refused a tetanus shot after I fell off my motorbike two years ago and got an infected elbow. The nurse couldn't believe that I said "no thanks".
Is tetanus even a real disease? I've never heard of someone getting tetanus, only the shots. Same with Rabies.
Guys, tetanus shots have been around for many decades and have saved many, many lives.
It's been extensively tested in animals because all horses are given tetanus shots for their own protection. Nobody has ever reported any ill effects from the injections in either horses or humans.
Tetanus is a horrible and extremely painful condition. Be grateful you can prevent it, for yourself and especially for your kids.
No sauce = troll bullshit. "saved many, many lives." I just saw a video from a doctor who said she couldn't find any record of ANYONE even GETTING tetanus much less dying from it. More likely this is 100% PROPAGANDA about rusty nails... If you want to quote Big Pharma here on this board, BRING THE SAUCE or fuck off.
Thank you for your polite response.
Tetanus is an anaerobic bacteria that thrives and grows in puncture wounds. Rust has nothing to do with it. It depends on where the nail was. If the nail was on soil containing the bacteria, and you shove that bacteria-covered nail into your skin, you can very well get tetanus.
People who work around horses get tetanus shots for their own protections, since puncture wounds are not unusual where there are barn nails and horseshoe nails and when it is a fact that the tetanus bacteria is a normal inhabitant of the equine digestive tract.
If some doctor says she's never seen tetanus and knows of no cases, it's because EVERYBODY GETS TETANUS SHOTS NOWADAYS.

You're welcome, and you have a nice day, too.
Disease burden In the United States, sporadic cases of tetanus continue to occur. Since 2010, there have been less than 40 reported cases each year. Most cases are in people who either
Never received a tetanus vaccine Didn’t complete the tetanus primary vaccine series Didn't stay up to date with their 10-year booster shots

So, sure, tell yourself "I don't need a tetanus shot. Nobody gets tetanus anymore."
They don't get it because they're immunized.
You do the math.
Good decision.
