🦠 Can a Rusty Nail Really Cause Tetanus?
Contrary to popular belief, rust itself does not cause tetanus. Tetanus is caused by bacteria called Clostridium tetani, which can enter the body through puncture wounds, especially from objects contaminated with soil, dust, or animal waste. Rusty objects may increase the risk if they provide a place for these bacteria to survive.
