Tetanus risk
I think some rust from the wire my hair clip entered my throat,if it did enter and scratched the inside of my throat can I get tetanus? Im not sure if it is rust and if it did enter my throat or if that wire was dirty before I bought the hair clip,im just saying in case it did. My last tetanus vaccine was six years ago and i have had the full course vaccines,all 5 shots.
