What happens when nails stick in your feet and you don't get tetanus?

Tetanus infection may occur if nails are stuck in the foot without tetanus. Because the wound after nail injury is generally deep and narrow, and nails often rust. This anaerobic environment is the best condition for tetanus bacteria to breed, and the probability of tetanus infection is still very large. Therefore, after the foot is injured by nails, the first thing to do is to clean up the wound locally, enlarge the wound as much as possible, so as to destroy the anaerobic environment where tetanus bacteria breed, and then inject tetanus antitoxin within 24 hours, which can effectively prevent tetanus infection.
