Hey.
So I was carrying some stuff around today, and one of them was a plank with little rusty nails on it. I accidentally grabed the nail, and it penetrated my protective glove, and spiked me in the area between my thumb and index finger. The puncture didn't bleed, but there's like a tiny red dot under my skin, so I guess it's blood, and the nail did in fact penetrate the skin.
A minute or two after this, I washed the area with water and put some alcohol disinfectant on it.
Obviously I am now worried about tetanus. Am I being unreasonable and irrational? Should I visit a doctor and get a tetanus shot?
Thanks for replies.
