In most cases, a tetanus shot is required for scissor stab wounds. Because tetanus is a disease caused by the multiplication of Clostridium tetani in the body, which is widely found in nature and can be attached to dust or scissors, it is best to get it within 24 hours of the injury, when it is more effective. This is because if a tetanus attack occurs, the patient can have a bitter smile, corns, difficulty breathing, abnormal heartbeat, which can eventually be life-threatening. Patients usually need either tetanus antitoxin or tetanus immunoglobulin, depending on the medication the hospital has. After the injection, one should not drink drinks containing alcohol, eat foods that are too spicy, or eat foods that are difficult to digest, as these foods may produce adverse physical reactions when eaten, interfering and confusing with the adverse effects of the injection.
