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.
