Question: Rusty Water!?
very very very very very very very very!.!.!.!.!.!.!.stupid question :P

I was moving something in my backyard that has tubing and holes in it, and some orangey-yellow water spilled out

here comes the stupid part

the rusty water spilled onto my leg (not a lot of it)

in any way is this harmful!? Like tetanus or something!. I highly doubt myself about this being harmful!.

I just have some dry skin on my leg and on my toe some that peels (ew) :D

Just wanted to make sure!. :P

Go ahead and call me stupid for asking the question lol!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Rusty water is just pipe corrosion!. Rust does not cause tetanus--it is the spores in dirt that causes tetanus!. The only thing I would be worried about is some bacteria living in the old water causing an infection--and even this is pretty remote!. You washed it off--you will be fine!. People are bombarded every day with challenges such as this & the actual # that develop anything bad is really tiny when you consider what you go through every day!.

if you wiped it off pretty much straight away, then you should be alright, unless you had any cuts or anything, maybe you should get a tetanus if u notice any discoloration or a rash!.
ur not stupid!. thats the whole point of yahoo answers!

No, it won't hurt you!. Even if you had a cut of some sort, you say you washed it with soap and water, so that's taken care of!. Don't worry :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

AS LONG AS IT DIDNT SPILL INTO AN OPEN SORE OR ANYTHING, YOU SHOULD BE FINEWww@Answer-Health@Com
