Is Tetanus Necessary For A Scrape Caused By An AC Filter?
Hello, I was just a bit worried. I was cleaning up my air conditioner and when I lifted it to put it on the ground, I was scraped by the filter which had like mold and I have no idea if there was some sort of rust. The scrape occurred about 2 days ago and it s already healing but not sure if I need a tetanus shot for that. Do you recommend it?
