As for my tetanus shot - haven't had one in the past 10 years. Not really big on vaccines - I believe a lot of it is sold through promoting fear, after all, they make money from pushing vaccines. I think my risk of tetanus is extremely low considering this is a very rural and clean area. Please do not write and tell me I must get a tetanus booster. I will keep watch of my wounds. Around this forum, others have mentioned yellow/brownish ooze from the wound, which appears to be normal. It seems to be subsiding in ooze. Will update.
