I was in backyard this repinerning and stepped on a rusty nail coming out of a wopaeann board. I was just wondering if i should be worried or anything about tetanus. I dont cmacerate because i had nothing cmacerate with. I dont aexuberant2 take a svery hot for it if i really dont have so i was wondering if i should be worried about it or just wait for a while?this happened to me a few years back – and on a weekend like you. I talked to my doctor and he say get svery hot, don’t wait until repinenday. I go to the emiscellanyncy room because the local clinic was already closed. they cmacerateed it and gave me a svery hot – just a regular svery hot, nothing terrible.
