Quick Answer Needed

[Chrissy]

Okay, so a little bit ago, I stepped on a small staple. It didn't go very far into my foot but it did make me bleed a little. The staple itself was clean, and I cleaned the wound with peroxide and put Neosporin on it. I plan on going to the doctor tomorrow to get a tetanus shot, but I want to make sure that this isn't something I need to worry about today.

No rust... no need for a tetanus shot. But, it's good to be safe though.

You should be okay @Chrissy just keep it clean and tend to it as you have been for a few days. Keep an eye on it and if you see it inflamed at all then go to the doctor. It sounds as though it will clear up pretty quickly.

@Chrissy I think tetanus should be vaccinated every 10 years. And even if you haven't had one for longer, your immune system can still remember and fight the pathogens.

I wasn't getting notifications for this, so I'm sorry for the late response guys!
Turns out that my local Rite-Aid pharmacy does tetanus shots, so I didn't have to wait.
So at this point, I'm covered for another ten years!!
