A member asked:

So 2 days ago a exacto knife accidentally cut my leg since then ive been short of breathe off and on do i have teatnus i got vaccinated as a child?

Likely unrelated: To get tetanus the germ must cause an infection in your wound and eventually start making tetanus toxin. It's a bit too soon for this to happen or your SOB to be from that cut. You can still get a tetanus booster to avoid it. If you have SOB you should be seen.
