I also cut myself all the time at work. I don't think you need any more tentanus shots, but ask a doctor about that.

I do know that for many years I ignored the cuts, sometime putting duct tape or whatever was handy, on them. Then one time, a cut started to hurt. It didn't seem any better the next day, or the day after that. Then it started to REALLY hurt. I went to the doctor and found myself hospitalized with an IV for an infection. The IV was in for a week, and I had to give myself a bag of antibiotic 3x a day.

I don't ignore cuts anymore. I've got a 'cut kit' and take care of them right away.
