I cut the back of my leg with rusty barbwire, not very deep, drew blood, washed it off with peroxide afterwards. Been at least... 6 or 7 years since my last booster. Last time I got the shot i remember it hurt like a bitch. It felt like I got punched in the arm 100 times in the same spot. I don't want to get it again, but should I?

I never had one.

I got my hand sliced up by rusty barbwire about a year ago. I just poured rubbing alcohol on it and bandaged it up. Cleaned it with alcohol 3 times a day, used neosporin, and made sure it stayed wrapped up.

Sure. Which symptom do you want to wait for? The continuous whole body muscle spasms or the respiratory arrest? :lol

I wouldn't. I would just wash it off with rubbing alcohol and HOT water. But it depends on how fast you reacted to washing off and sterilizing the cut.

I don't know how fast a cut can get infected, but a couple years ago I hit my forehead during basketball practice on the sharpedge of a locker in the changing rooms and it was bleeding pretty heavily, all I did was rub some alcohol on it and put a bandage on it. It was bleeding throughout the practice and my coach was like you need stitches, but I was too pussy, but I still turned out okay.

I'm not going to tell you not to, I don't think that it should be that big of a deal as long as you keep it clean and take care of it like you should, since it wasn't that big of a cut like you say.

I've got a scar on my forehead from an incident when I was a baby. Thank God for my mother or I wouldn't be alive today.

Okay, what kind of moron gets their head sliced open by a fucking locker?

Please tell me that someone didn't see you and accidentally was slamming their locker as your head got in the way...

The lockers in our changing room are like multi-leveled, there are a set of lockers on top and on bottom connected and I have one on top and this kid was next to me, and he had one on bottom, so as I reached down to pick up my shoe, at the same time he opened his locker, pretty slim chances of happening.

I'll draw a pic since I'm bored.

Okay, that's understandable. I kinda did that to someone once, although it didn't slice their skin up or anything like that.

But I was ready to laugh my ass off if you ran into a locker or something like that.

So from the figure below I reached down to pick up my shoe and at the same moment he flung his locker open and it was too late to react and the sharp edge of the locker cut the shit out of me.

I can do so much before I need a break and for breaks I usually hit the gym, but I can't do that so often, because I don't wanna overwork out, so I'm stuck to roaming the internets. I'm on day 22 for masturboatroy habits. probation is my 3rd name.

Let's get back to the thread topic: Pego, I think you will be fine. Just treat it with Neosporin or rubbing alcohol.

i died but they revived me with a tetanus shot

seriosuly though it was fucked up.. i wasn't going to get one but then like a week later i stepped on a syringe behind my apartment complex. I got sick like a week later and i freaked out thinking i had tetanus or hepatitis or something worse. i went and got a tetanus and they took like 5 viles of blood to do tests on... i am ok, nothing showed up on the tests but I have to go back in 6 months to get re-tested just to be safe :depressed

Most physicians will have you get a tetanus shot if you get cut like this and it has been more than 5 years since your last Tetanus shot.

Your'e supposed to have a tetanus booster every 10 years so you are probably alright. But be sure of the date of your last booster - time recall is iffy and it is likely that it's been longer than 6-7 years.
