There is an assumption that if a person gets a cut from rusted iron object, there is more chance of Tetanus, and therefore we should get a Tetanus injection although rust itself does not cause tetanus. Tetanus is a disease caused by a bacterium called Clostridium Tetanic.
Do you agree with the statement “if a person gets a cut from rusted iron object, there is more chance of Tetanus”. Give justification for your agreement

Explanation:
Rust doesn't cause tetanus, but stepping on a nail might if you're not immunized. In fact, any damage to the skin, even burns and blisters, allows tetanus-causing bacteria to enter the body. Tetanus is not as common as it once was. Still, tetanus patients have only about a 50-50 chance of recovering.
Rust Doesn't Give You Tetanus. ... Tetanus, or lockjaw, is a bacterial infection caused by Clostridium tetani, an extremely hardy rod-shaped bacterium found in animal digestive tracts and soil worldwide. Tetanus is fatal in about 10% of cases but causes muscle spasms, fever and trouble swallowing in all cases.
