Question: Can you get tetanus from getting scratched badly from a staple!?
Long story short my hand got a deep scratch(bled a little bit) from a staple the staple was straight out of the stapler and I doubt it had rust!. I'm pretty sure I won't get tetanus, but just want to be sure!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You are probably OK if you had a tetanus shot within the last 5 years!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Not likely, but also not impossible!. You have the potential to pick it up anywhere!.
And besides, you don't get tetanus from rust!. That's a common misconception!. Tetanus is actually just a bacteria that is commonly found in dirt; in reality, it has nothing to do with rust!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
