Query about infection risk from cut

2024-03-22 07:47:19
I had read about Acanthamoeba infection that it is present almost everywhere and causes GAE which is mostly fatal. I got a puncture wound/cut on my inner part of my foot today via an old wired hanger (metal hanger). Blood came out, not much but little. I applied sanitizer, dettol washed it with soap and water, again applied dettol and sanitizer to the wound or cut as you may call it. I tried to press it and take out as much blood from it. All of a sudden I have started thinking that can I get acanthamoeba GAE infection as the metal was dirty with dust and fungi that might have grown on the terrace, though it was dry. I will get another TT shot today. Since a few years I have become very afraid of these things since I accidentally had read about amoeba infections in humans on internet.

That is to far to get.  Avoid overthinking.  Apply tt injection.  Just observe the wounds for 7 days.  If alright and no symptoms then relax.  Do u have any other medical condition?? Like diabetes?
