Tomorrow I took a glass of milk and after drinking it I saw there was rust inside on the glass surface. Can it cause tetanus to me?

Dear, bacteria of tetanus generally lives in soil and the bacteria enters through cut in skin or wound by a contaminated thing. So tetanus occurs mainly by wound on skin or cut on skin by contaminated object. So don't worry rust inside glass surface cannot cause tetanus to you.
