If you bleed from a scissor cut, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a tetanus shot. This is especially true for scissor stab wounds that are rusty or contaminated with some pollutants. Tetanus injection refers to the injection of tetanus antitoxin, mainly to prevent the patient from contracting tetanus. Tetanus infection is common in wounds contaminated with rust, dirt and other contaminants, especially closed wounds that are prone to develop an oxygen-poor environment. Scissor cuts that bleed are relatively easy to form closed wounds, creating an oxygen-poor environment. In addition, if the scissors are rusty or contaminated with some pollutants, they may carry Clostridium tetani, and tetanus infection may occur. Therefore, in order to prevent tetanus infection, patients are advised to visit a hospital for tetanus antitoxin injection. While attending the clinic, the specifics of the wound are clarified and, if necessary, debridement may be performed to ensure a smooth recovery from the injury.
