I had a cut that was bleeding and got potting soil inside my wound, and didnt clean it out till an hour later. should i be worried about sepsis?

Sepsis : I would say before you note sepsis you should not swelling, redness, and pain at the wound. You may feel dizziness, fever, chills, fatigue. So the information is needed. How big is the wound, how deep? You should get a tetanus shot
