As I recall, Tetanus is an anaerobic microbe and therefore more likely to thrive in a deeper puncture type wound!.!.( no air around it) but it is definitely latent in soil!.!.!.!. so it would be an idea to get a booster shot !.!.!.usually done each 10 years or so!.
Swelling would be a natural response to being whacked!.!.!.even with no cut!.!.!.but look after the leg all the same!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
