Guest guest Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Tetanus is something that is normally found in dirt on farm land. If it was my child, I would not do it. The shot seems to be a higher risk to me than the injury from the toothpick. Blessings, Stella > My daughter just stepped on a clean toothpick. It went in about 1/3 > of the way.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 If the wound bled I would say no to a tetanus shot but you should use your best judgement as I am not aware of all the circumstances, either.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Tetanus is usually transmitted by dirty things. I wouldnt worry too much about a toothpick. But I think maybe boosting her immune system would be smart and I know there are some things such as herbals that help keep tetanus at bay. I just cant remember right now. Vitamin e at 200 or above helps and putting a dressing of castor oil on for a few days also is recommended 38 and Mom to threeTasha 23..new Mommy ( means I am a Grammy )Casey-Mae 13..sweet as pieElijah 2..
