I cut my hand. Do I need a tetanus shot?

If the hand is cut, tetanus is required mainly based on the cut material, such as rust or metal objects contaminated by soil. Tetanus is a special type of bacterial infection that lacks specific drugs and The disease progresses rapidly, resulting in a high mortality rate for patients. Its typical symptoms are a wry smile, opisthotonus, convulsions all over the body, and drooling. Patients often die due to suffocation and respiratory failure. If it is suspected that tetanus infection may occur due to scratch by metal objects containing rust or soil, tetanus antitoxin injection or tetanus immunoglobulin should be injected within 24 hours after scratch to prevent it.
