Anything I should be doing to clean it? I'm soaking it in Epsom Salts right now . . .what else can I do? The puncture isn't deep, I stepped on my kid's Eiffel Tower keychain, it definately hurt, it's pointy. It didn't really bleed, looks a bit like a red blood blister. Thoughts? Tetanus scares the crap out of me. *chanting one in 10 million, one in 10 million* o.O

post #2 of 47/27/12 at 2:02pmJust think of the millions of people who stepped on Eiffel Tower keychains, and didn't get tetanus.

I am impressed with your 1 in 10 million chant. I did the math, and you are correct.

I stepped on a nail that almost went through my entire foot... a dirty rusty old nail... on my grandma's farm. I did get a tetanus booster for THAT. However, I probably wouldn't worry so much about a household object like a key chain.

Tetanus lives in anaerobic environments, like a nail that had been buried in the yard.
Apply neosporin and continue your day
