If the wound encounters rust water, if the wound debridement and dressing change cleaning treatment is carried out in time, the colonization of Clostridium tetanus can be reduced, because Clostridium tetanus is a class of anaerobic bacteria, which is easy to cause Clostridium tetanus to colonize in the body through wound mucosa and produce toxin, which inhibits the muscles of the human body and causes asphyxia in severe cases. Therefore, if there is rust and rust water in the wound, it is easy to cause the colonization of Clostridium tetanus, but if the wound itself is relatively shallow and clean, it is not easy to get tetanus if it is cleaned in time, so it should be determined according to the depth of the wound itself and the degree of pollution and whether it is handled in time.
