Rust doesn't cause tetanus, but stepping on a nail might if you're not immunized. In fact, any damage to the skin, even burns and blisters, allows tetanus-causing bacteria to enter the body. Tetanus is not as common as it once was. Still, tetanus patients have only about a 50-50 chance of recovering.

Protection begins to decrease after about 10 years, which is why doctors advise booster shots every decade. A doctor may recommend children and adults get a booster shot earlier if there's a suspicion they may have been exposed to tetanus-causing spores.
