Small cut from metal

2021-07-30 04:23:58
I have a metal tongue cleaner and it has a bit sharp edge. So while using it yeaterday i held it hardly so it gave a cut on my finger. It is a very small cut and almost no blood came out just it became a little red. Should i worry about titnus in this. I have anxiety now about getting titnus. Is titnus not curable?

Is your tongue cleaner rusted? Also wash your hand with soap and water. If not rusted and you have washed the are properly with soap and water then nothing much to worry about!

still if you are anxious get a tetanus vaccine shot!
