Who else thought that tetnus was caused by rust

[@timbaumann208]

Me cuz I just scratched myself on a rusty nail

[@Lynn-Lynn-Lynn]

The environment that encourages rust to grow also encourages/supports tetanus

I almost lost a finger while working with metal, some bone was exposed through a deep tear on my finger, crushed bone as well. Once at the hospital, I received a tetanus vaccine 💉. Back in 21’

I had localized tetanus after getting pricked by a thorn bush. Took 8 months to fully recover. I got the tetanus shot after contracting it.

[@exetrf4ng837]

Does it fully go away, cause it says it's not curable? I fear I might have tetanus because I got a scratch a few days ago, and now my calf and upper back muscles feel weak and sprained.

A barber accidentally popped my pimple from a scissor on my forehead near my hair. My problem with them is that they do their job carelessly and like it's the end of the world. They just cut recklessly and hit my pimples :/ It still happens from time to time every haircut

By the way, the creator of that vaccine discontinued creating it in 2020. The CDC released on March 1st 2024 that they are expecting to have critical wide shortages. Just FYI.

Helpful video 😊

[@koalaplays8855]

It’s true the bone breaking thing, humans normally only use 30% of their muscle strength, but this can be bypassed with certain drugs. The reason your body does this is because if you were to use the other 70% you could break bones and tear apart muscles as said in the video. But In dangerous situations your body could activate more of your muscle strength.

My last tetanus shot was 10 years ago and I'm freaking out bc i stepped on a nail today 🥲 my reaction was quick so only a tiny bit of the nail pricked me, but that's enough for bacteria.
