It was, in all likelihood, rapidly followed by your parents dragging you to the doctor’s office for a painful (but safe!) tetanus shot. The memory of my first tetanus shot is preceded by an exploring an abandoned barn and getting cut by a stray wire fence. If it had happened in my own home it wouldn’t have even deserved a band-aid, but the threat of rust sent us to the doctor's office.</p> <p>But it turns out that injuries caused by rusty objects aren’t any worse than injuries caused by any other discarded object.</p> Thu, 25 Oct 2018 18:23:16 +0000 Ada McVean B.Sc. 7414 at /oss
