nahh i stepped right on this piece of barbed wire that was so rusted it couldn't even bend, put a nice gouge in my bare foot. I can still type fine, but for some reason my jaw doesn't move very easily.

Tetanus shots are supposed to be good for 10 years or something around that time.

I just got one today, fuck. My arm is sore as shit, and I feel like I'm really hung over, headaches and nausea. Yeah, they're good for 10 years apparently, but if you get a really bad cut on stuff like that, you might want to go and get that checked out.

you should be fine as long as it didnt go in deep...
rinse it out wit rubbin alcohol and make sure it is really clean
also i dunno if you know what epsom salt is but take that ans put it in a bucket and put hot water in the bucket and soak the cut and it'll help pull any bacteria/infection out of the wound
just make sure it stays clean and dry until it heals and you should be good!!!
sry man that sucks
i stepped on a nail when i wa skatin the other day but luckily i had my circa's on and the sole was thick so it only stuck in my foot a tad bit haha
i got lucky...
hope ya get better

the rust should make it so it could bend more and break very easy...

nah...i get em all the time from jumping fences. sure there might be blood everywear but i didn't need that blood in the first place. they make crazy cool scars and stories though.
"how'd you get that scar?"
"a puma ran up behind me and grabbed my leg with his claws. i beat that bitch down in 5 minutes and that's how i got this scar."
