Cut thumb whilst cutting carrots. I'm late 30s. It's stopped bleeding. I won't need tetanus will I?

When was your last tetanus shot?

Were you cutting carrots with a rusty knife you found in a park?
Nope. Keep it clean and you will be fine.

No
Tetanus is for deep dirty cuts that could have contaminated soil in them.

What did you use? A rusty dirty old blade?
