Tetanus and the Rusty Nail Myth
You are over 400% more likely to die in association with a tetanus vaccine than you are of tetanus, and if you get tetanus and seek treatment but succumb to the toxoid), there’s a 96% historical probability that the doctors will have failed to treat your wound properly.

------------------------------------------------------

My own personal experience with Tetanus vaccine and it's not good.

I was working in construction and got a cut while digging a service line. Went to the hospital for treatment and was given Tetanus shot.

Went home, the next morning getting ready for work. I felt very ill. I could barely stand, nearly all my muscles became ridged and I had a fever of 104 degrees. It took about three days of body pain before my immune system kicked in, then slowly felt better over a few days.

Re: Tetanus and the Rusty Nail Myth
The hospitals are kind of silly, once a baby poked me with his fork and the hospital wanted to give me a tetanus shot. REALLY? I was thinking, do you really think there was tetanus in the babies meal? How dumb do they think we are?

Know your not getting one vaccine but THREE.

It's known as the Tdap vaccine; for tetanus, diphtheria, and whooping cough.

Re: Tetanus and the Rusty Nail Myth
Thanks for sharing, I appreciated it!!!

I was roofing and of course stepped on a rusty nail that went through my shoe and into my foot.

Everybody there said, I had to go get a Tetanus shot right away, even I believed that.

So I went and got the Tetanus shot, and later my are that I got the shot in felt like I got hit by a fucking baseball bat. That pain lasted for about a day.

I will NEVER get one, or recommend one or ANY other vaccine to ANYONE!!!

Similar, but even though the shot hurt worse than other tetanus shots, I felt that it probably hurt because I had gotten Tetanus when I stepped on those pallet nails.

So my belief is that the shot was beneficial.

Re: Tetanus and the Rusty Nail Myth
I had a cut from a rusty dumpster a few years ago. I cleaned it and put antibiotic and band-aid and kept doing that but it would not heal normally which is what they say is a symptom I guess. About two weeks in I got the DTap which was freaking horrid. Lungs filled with fluid and felt horrible for about three weeks.

My arm pain was NOT from Tetanus, but from the Tetanus shot. The same hare were I got the shot is the one that felt like it got hit by the baseball bat, and it was RED and swollen exactly where I got the shot.

Never a problem with tetanus shots here. I'm 74 and have had 4 tetanus shots that I can remember from about 1952 'til about 2010. Your mileage may vary....

I've had loads of cuts and jabs by rusty outdoor stuff, never had a shot or infection.

Had a 2" nail go in my ass cheek when I was early teens from a rope swing lol.

I thought tetanus lived in soil, not rusty shit.

Maybe the next time we should refuse the combo shot? The arm I got my shot in was swelled up like a baseball for a month in the armpit, plus a low fever. There is something wrong about this shot.

Me too. The shot hurt real bad shortly after I got it.

Then a day later, my foot hurt about as bad as when I stepped on the nails.

I was worried about getting Tetanus from the shot itself and checked for jaw and neck stiffness like a hypochondriac.

Nothing further happened. No fever, swelling, spreading.

But I am sure I had the start of Tetanus from the nails and I am sure I came close to getting it.

I did NOT get the shot the same day as the wound.. it might have been two days or even longer.

I believe in vaccinations, BUT! There are reactions as well as interactions.

To each their own. I usually avoid vaccination because my system doesn't take it well(had a bad reaction as an infant to a required vaccine, and every year I received the flu vaccine, I became deathly sick with the flu).

Received a Tetanus vaccine though, and it did absolutely nothing to me.

Uh yea, it was the third day, huitlacoche turns into a near liquid when smashed, i could push it in my mouth and swallow without utilizing my jaw, hard to believe i know, but i was desperate. My jaw was stuck essentially a few cm open. A couple years later i was in a hot tub and squeezed a piece of metal that seemed almost plastic like by then out of my sole. Took a while for the body to push it out.

They always ask if you've had a Tetanus shot in the last X numer of years-- no matter what you are being seen for. Just say "yes" unless you were wounded around something with feces in it, like a barnyard, or have a really deep wound.

Plain Tetanus toxoid is less likely to cause problems than Tdap.
