I think I got lead poisoning!?

I was working with some electronics and cut myself with rusty pliers. Is it possible that I got lead poisoning?

You had better get a tetanus shot and fast. You might get lucky and nothing will happen, but I wouldn't risk it.

My dad once stepped on a rusty nail. He REFUSED to get a tetanus shot. That is how stubborn that damn ox is. Luckily nothing happened, but you're crazy not to get a simple shot. Keep an eye out to make sure it doesn't get infected.

You don't need to worry about lead.

No but you need to make sure you had a tetnus shot.

not likely... but possibly tetnus. you need to see a doctor and get a booster shot and let them check for infection.

Not lead, more likely tetanus. Everyone should have up to date tetanus shots. See your family Doc., or even state or county health clinic for one.

no but u could have tetanus so u might wanna go see your doctor about getting a tetanus shot

Visit your doctor and get checked over just in case you do have lead poisoning. It is very serious stuff that can make you ill if your not careful. Also you might be able to sue the company that you worked for if you have got it.
