Wearing gloves when handling stuff that is contaminated with soil and that can cause puncture wounds is excellent advice. Tetanus germs live in the soil, and tetanus is a nasty disease with a high mortality rate. Most people are vaccinated for tetanus, but no vaccine is 100% effective.
yes that is why most people get a shot if you get a sever cut or step on a nail some cannot get a traditional vaccination which is derived from horse blood and must get a human blood derivietive
