“Most of the time tetanus is not considered a risk for a scrape.”
A “scrape” that mom had to suture. The lockjaw tetanus came from the Dr Quinn wannabe and her unsanitary stitching.
I missed she had to suture and I should have written a non-puncture wound that has been properly cleansed instead of scrape. I wrote scrape to mean a surface wound in contrast to a puncture. Now that cleansing would mean properly flushing it out to make sure there was no dirt in the wound. But my main point stands that most of the time a tetanus shot is given in case of a puncture wound.
