Ok this is stupid...

I've just started worrying about tetanus, I had a booster for it about 5 years ago and can't remember if you're supposed to get one every 5 or ten years, but 6 weeks ago I cut my leg quite badly on a bit of old metal poking out of the floor, it healed pretty quickly but my ankle on that side is stiff now. If I'd caught tetanus, how quickly would symptoms have shown? Is 6 weeks too long? I really don't want to start googling.:wacko:

It is every 10 years.

Thank you! I'd have googled it but that's not something I want to start doing again. Cheers :)
