    I just stepped on a thumb tack, barefoot.

    Will I die? Please don't let me die alone.

    It didn't look particularly rusty. Is gangrene common at all these days? I know it used to be.

    Tetanus doesn't live in rust. That's an old wive's tale. Tetanus is generally present in soil.

    The better question is, who can you sue?

    Rust can't be good, though.

    My doctor, for not fully explaining the hazards of walking barefoot in one's kitchen?

    Rust doesn't matter. A tiny amount of iron oxide never did anybody any harm.

    If the thing hadn't been in contact with soil or animal waste then you're probably fine.

    I think you should consult your family doctor, jdd2007. Just in case some things happen and you get somebody to sue.

    Oh my god. It is a thumb tack. Toughen up and get over it.
    Time to take out the trash. You know its easy but it seems harder every time you try and think about it.
