Tetanus, from exposure to illness, often sets in between 3 to 21 days, depending on the wound.
Tetanus is not that common in the US. Each year, an average of only 30 tetanus cases are reported.
Rust doesn’t have and doesn’t cause tetanus but tetanus-causing bacteria on any surface can if it enters through a wound, burn, or blister.
You can still get tetanus even if vaccinated but the risk is lower. However, the risk of reinfection is high so it’s highly recommended to get a booster shot every ten years.
Those who are at high risk for tetanus complications are people aged 65 years and older. People with diabetes are also at risk for tetanus.
