An oil pin went in your foot so do you need to get a tetanus shot and there was no blood?
Tetanus shots are recommended for people who have been exposed to tetanus-causing bacteria, such as those who have stepped on a nail or other sharp object. The shot helps to prevent the bacteria from growing and causing illness.
If you are not sure whether or not you need a tetanus shot, it is best to err on the side of caution and get one. Tetanus is a serious infection, and it is better to be safe than sorry.
In addition to getting a tetanus shot, it is also important to clean the wound and apply a bandage to prevent infection. If the wound is deep or does not heal properly, you may need to see a doctor for further treatment.
