I was cleaning rust off the bathtub and the rusty soap suds got into a cut on my finger. i washed my cut afterwards, but it split open some more slightly. should i be worried about getting tetanus? i am not sure when my last vaccination was?

There is no possibility of tetanus in this situation. Soap instantaneously kills tetanus bacteria and spores.
