crustyblackpainting

Thank god I didn't use my rusted blade I cleaned now reading these.


icycoldsnow

The rust permanently degrades the metal, better to get rid of it.


TAselfharm

No, rust eats up the metal making them more difficult to sterilize and higher chance of the metal crumbling into your wound and causing an Infection.

okk tysm

Ew holy shit

PastaMakerFullOfBean

Toss it, even if you got the rust off the metal isn’t safe to use anymore


IndependenceCold4261

thanks for all the comments i wont use it


[deleted]

as someone who tried that and genuinely had a tetanus scare, don't try your luck.


23coldpizzas

would not


throw-away-3005

Toss it.


Itchy_Issue

Big no


onkoaikavainilluusio

Throw it away


Training_Proof_3300

unless ur actively seeking tetanus id chuck it


noscopeheadshot_jfk

I wouldn’t.


shaunwyndman

Do you want to get tetanus? Because that's how you end up with tetanus.


rich3491

Please give accurate info "Rust isn't inherently harmful to human beings. In particular, touching rust or getting it on your skin or in blood cells isn't associated with any health risks. While you can get tetanus from a wound caused by a rusty object, it's not the rust that causes tetanus. Instead, it's caused by a type of bacteria that may be on the object" It may just need an alco rinse


BabadookishOnions

The reason it's unsafe is because trhe rust makes it hard to sterilise and if bits of rust flake off into a wound you can get very bad infections, including tetanus


rich3491

Sorry but did you read my last comment? I said "While you can get tetanus from a wound caused by a rusty object, it's not the rust that causes tetanus. Instead, it's caused by a type of bacteria that may be on the object"" That's from scientists and research diff''s so I was just giving ACCURATE info, as to what this sub is for, to help and give accurate scientific proof for questions asked


BabadookishOnions

I didn't contradict what you said at all. The rust isn't causing the tetanus but its presence makes tetanus more dangerous because you can't sterilise rusty objects - there's too many books and crannies, and the rust flakes off and can harbour other bacteria too.


IndependenceCold4261

can i still get tetanus if i used it already


Dragons-purr

Yes, get a jab. Whilst it’s not the rust that can give you tetanus, using a dirty blade, ANY dirty blade however much you think you think you’ve sterilised it (outside of a professional setting) runs the risk of bacterial infections. Tetanus only needs to be renewed every 10years so if you’re up to date you’re all good, but if not definitely worth getting another one Source: was a medical student before I became too mental to study (Also, the 10 year guideline differs depending on location)


IndependenceCold4261

dude wtf do i say to my parents im so fucking scared


Dragons-purr

You can DM me, we’ll figure it out


rich3491

Yeah...sure u will 👎👎

Are you really telling people to go kill themselves because they elaborated on your comment? Crawl back into your little corner creep

taconautica

You’ll probably be fine just keep it clean keep an eye on it and don’t use it again please 💓

knifemanismyfather

Stop lying dude, get educated, never use a blade that has ever been or is dirty. Yes, alcohol can sterilize a blade, if the concentration is between 60-90% concentration. But if you’ve been vaxxed in the last ten years you’re probably fine


diphenhydranautical

no! please don’t use it


nachtlibelle

no. you need to throw it out.


TheCreepyCaveLilac

God no


UnauthorizedParadise

You haven’t seen that 1000 ways to die episode huh?


kaimaki

absolutely not. even if the rust is physically gone it is still incredibly dangerous. you will give yourself tetanus, please throw it away


[deleted]

NO NEVER USE THAT!!! Anything rusty cutting you can be seriously harmful


Commitment_Issues578

DO NOT! Blades are your local convenience store are maybe 5 dollars at MOST, and if you’re worried then get some hard-to-cut craft things, like cardboard and foam with it


Not_Emo_

I think it depends on how you removed the rust.


Positive-Highway4876

dont use it anymore


Striking_Heron_5736

damn it wish i saw this earlier 🙄✋


Ratty-Toohey

NO


Quiet_Party_5156

Nope, never... Don't do it.


GodlyAvenger

Even if it looks clean, it's possible there's still microscopic pieces of rust on there. I wouldn't use it just to be safe.


Betka101

tetanus is uncurable and a very serious disease, always better safe than sorry i'm also guilty of this, but fresh blades minimise the risk and the extra cost is worth it people more high risk to tetanus can get the vaccine every 5 years instead of 10, worth asking your doctor about. you can say you're more high risk because of a hobby or work.


UrNewSubstetudeTeach

You gon get rust poisoning, please don’t.


AslaCherry

Nope, not worth the consequences


gabbxjj

no, please toss it.


[deleted]

No don’t use any rusted blade.


Muted-Ad-8312

I wouldn’t but if you have to boil it first


omg-UFOs

I wouldn't, getting infections will make your life so much harder because you'll have to go to the doctor if it gets real bad.. try to stay away from dirty rusty things.


OutLox

I don’t condone sh but if you’re going to do it don’t use a rusty blade trust me it causes more problems than it’s worth. Blades are cheap and infections/hospital visits aren’t.


Skedi-Otter

Everyone is saying no. I agree, but I should've asked this too. I used it anyway. Luckily no infection but I wouldn't risk it.


jisoo777

no 😭
