That is why a puncture wound is the most likely way to contract tetanus. The wound is deep into the body and may close itself before bleeding can occur, not allowing oxygen into the penetration.
If you bleed from a cut, your odds of getting tetanus are extremely low.

Hey, if you want a tetanus shot, by all means get one. Some folks here are just trying to put your mind at ease about the scrapes and cuts that go along with what we do.
