Agreed. "Tetanus" (always struck me as an odd name tet-anus... Hehehe, he said anus, hehehe) is undoubtedly hard to get. As authored by Sharon, it is anaerobic, so a cut or scrape really doesn't expose one to this mechanically, and using H2O2 to clean it is sensible for sure. From my limited recollection, it is deep, puncture wounds where there is no O2 present that allows this to fester and gives it the conditions necessary to thrive. But it's a perfect shitstorm of events that leads to this occuring. Regardless, getting the area cleaned out is key. And as a sidenote, Manuka Honey is a great substance to help heal with, it naturally produces H2O2 while having the benefits of honey in general plus the added antimicrobial benefits of what makes it "Manuka" ... Hmmm... I wonder if one could make a special honey similar to Manuka but instead of the tea tree plant as bee pollen, inviting the bees to use the wild oregano plant (vulgaris)... Tea Tree (melaleuca something or another, doesn't grow in my zone but wild oregano does, which is why I'm thinking "out loud" here...) Anyways, solid point - hey, tenanus puns intended - that you make here Sharon! (Yes, two puns point could be needle or sharp object that punctured you, ha...ha...ha... Sorry, no drum and cymbal set. 😁)
