It is that time for me- time for a tetanus booster. I really hope anyone playing in "the dirt" wheather that be clay, gardening or whatever... gets a tetanus booster.
You know the old thing about stepping on a rusty nail? Well, it is not the rust, it is the dirt on the nail which causes tetanus. Tetanus lives in the dirt and is transmitted to via an open wound. Getting tetanus is rare but not pretty! The CDC recommends a booster every 10 years. Check with your doc to see if it is time for you too.
