Can you get tetanus from this?

Okay, so I picked up my cat. And he was holding on to with his claws going into my shoulder. I think he got of his claws into a pimple. Is it possible to get tetanus from that?

The answer is NO.

If you continue to obssess over tetanus (VERY rare, btw)...just go get the dang shot!

Is it possible to get tetanus from that? I didn't bleed at all. So is there still anything to worry about?

I agree with nora 100%.  First of all...you must be patient. There isnt someone waiting for you to post...ready with an answer.

Secondly......if you are obsessing over this (btw the answer to this post is NO)...go get a tetanus shot...they're good for at least 10 years...problem solved!

What is it about you, pimples and tetanus? You've asked a similar question before which you postet on the 6th of sept:

Quote:
Okay, so I shaving mostly today because my work makes me shave. and I think the shaver cut off a pimple. It it possible to get tetanus from something like this? Oh yeah, I have gotten cut by this shaver before, if it hasn't givin me tetanus before then wouldn't it be even less likely now that it would give me tetanus?

And why the hell would you think anyone would even contemplate the idea of spending two seconds on your post when you get annoyed after 25 minutes without a reply? Jeez. Get yourself a life!
Go see your doctor and have a shot of vaccine if tetanus is constantly on your mind.
