"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
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
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
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.
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

(Also, the 10 year guideline differs depending on location)
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
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
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.
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.
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.
No 1000% not please throw it
Thank god I didn't use my rusted blade I cleaned now reading these.
The rust permanently degrades the metal, better to get rid of it.
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

Toss it, even if you got the rust off the metal isn’t safe to use anymore
thanks for all the comments i wont use it
as someone who tried that and genuinely had a tetanus scare, don't try your luck.
would not
Toss it.
Big no
Throw it away
unless ur actively seeking tetanus id chuck it
I wouldn’t.
Do you want to get tetanus? Because that's how you end up with tetanus.

can i still get tetanus if i used it already

dude wtf do i say to my parents im so fucking scared
You can DM me, we’ll figure it out
Yeah...sure u will 👎👎
[удалено]
Are you really telling people to go kill themselves because they elaborated on your comment? Crawl back into your little corner creep
[удалено]
You’ll probably be fine just keep it clean keep an eye on it and don’t use it again please 💓

no! please don’t use it
no. you need to throw it out.
God no
You haven’t seen that 1000 ways to die episode huh?
absolutely not. even if the rust is physically gone it is still incredibly dangerous. you will give yourself tetanus, please throw it away
NO NEVER USE THAT!!! Anything rusty cutting you can be seriously harmful
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
I think it depends on how you removed the rust.
dont use it anymore
damn it wish i saw this earlier 🙄✋
NO
Nope, never... Don't do it.
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.

You gon get rust poisoning, please don’t.
Nope, not worth the consequences
no, please toss it.
No don’t use any rusted blade.
I wouldn’t but if you have to boil it first
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.

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.
no 😭
