Tetanus is an anaerobe. Generally speaking, the wound is small, but the wound is deep, and it is only after being scratched by rusty nails or dirty things that it is possible to infect tetanus. If the wound is shallow, then the possibility of infection with tetanus is relatively small. At the same time, due to tetanus vaccine or toxoid, it will cause the body's immune response and may show symptoms of low fever. Generally, after a few days, the symptoms will ease and disappear. Therefore, if you consider the possibility of infection with tetanus bacillus is relatively high, you still need to go to the hospital as soon as possible for wound treatment and tetanus vaccination.
