I just stapled my finger!?!
Question: I just stapled my finger!!?
By accident!. It went in really far, basically the whole side part was in my finger!. Do i need that shot that ppl get when they get penetrated by nasty metal things!? Like 5 secends after it went in i pulled it out kinda fast so it didnt stay in there a long time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
no matter how long it was in there it could still get infected and you ae thinkiing of a tentnus shot
and unless you notice the following symptoms you don't need any immediate attention
-Redness or swelling
-purple outlining
-yellowish white or clear liquid coming from area
-bleeding
-pounding pains
If you clean out the cut with hydrogen peroxide now and in the mornings for two or three days you should be fine
good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

Just wash it thoroughly with soap and water, and put some antiseptic cream on it if you have any!. You only need tetanus shots if you get stuck by something rusty or dirty outside!. You won't get it from a staple!.
If it swells or starts leaking pus then it's infected, but chances are it will heal just fine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
