A member asked:
Stepped on a pin, didn't look dirty or rusty. had last tetanus booster shot 7 years ago, what actions should i take? have already put antiseptic on
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Clean site well: with warm soap and water and THEN the antiseptic. You're safe re: Tetanus. If painful, soak in warm water. If continued painful or swelling, need x=ray to be sure some didn't break off. Good luck.
