Infection - Tetanus

I just found out yesterday that I am (a few years) overdue for a tetanus booster, I have booked an appointment for next week.
But could I have put myself in risk by cutting myself? I've never really paid attention to how clean the tool is.
I've freaked myself out a little, am I being paranoid?

I am currently:

Tetanus bacteria is mainly found in soil, dirt and animal waste. So providing you have been keeping your wounds resonably clean, the risk should be fairly minimal.

We all put ourselves at risk to some degree when we injure ourselves, but the important thing now is that you are correcting it.

I would say try not to panic over it. If you had been exposed to tetanus, the symptoms usually show up pretty quick. So ts nothing to worry about at the present time. However, make sure that you do try to keep up to date with them from now on.

Take care
