Hello!

I have been trying to fix my window today (failed hard, too), and as I was hitting the nail with the hammer, I must have hit it the wrong way, because it flew back and hit me on the lip, then did a ricoshet and vanished somewhere.
Now, it's a nail, and my mind immediately went to TETANUS!

It wasn't a rusty nail, I keep all nails in a little box with a lid, but still...
I disinfected my lips with some Vodka (I didn't drink it, just wiped my lips vigorously a few times) because I didn't have anything else for disinfection...

Can I get a tetanus from that what happened?
There was no blood, there is no visible wound on my lip, and I cannot see any changes on it...

Nope! Not a chance in hell!

Bless you, thank you for your answer!
I am very prone to health anxiety, sadly :weep:

I managed to find the dreaded nail, it doesn't have any rust on it, but I am sure it is dusty/dirty because it's kept in a box.
