Question: I stepped on a nail but it did not puncture my skin!. It left a little red dot but it did not bleed!.!?
I washed it and put an ice pack on it!. The nail itself had no rust on it!. Should I get a tetanus shot!? My last shot was in 1998 and I know they last about 10 years and I should probably get a booster anyway but I didn't know if I had to rush!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
The red dot is a petechia - those are harmless!. You'll be fine!. Definitely get the booster just in case something else happens, but you don't have to rush because of this!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

feet are pretty tough, you would of had to STOMP on the nail to make your foot bleed, or let any of the nails junk inside of you!. and who go's around stomping on nails!? psh, godzilla!. i think you'll live, hun!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If i didnt puncture your skin and if it didn't have rust on it then you're safe!.
