KMnO4 kills all.: Very unlikely to contract tetanus or anything from this. KMnO4 is a very potent oxidizing agent. Kills everything.

A member asked:

Can you get tetanus from the tetanus bacteria entering a wound from touching a pre-existing open wound? Or does the bacteria enter the body if the contaminated object scratches/penetrates and creates its own wound? It has been 12 years since vaccine.
