I cut myself on rusty metal, should I worry about anything?!
Question: I cut myself on rusty metal, should I worry about anything.?
Today I cut myself on some rusty metal, it bled, but I put iodine on it right away and covered it with a plaster. Do I have to get a tetanus booster (or anything else) or will I be ok.? (It's only a little cut)Health Question & Answer
