Accidentally stabbed myself with a screw
Earlier today (~3pm) I was breaking down the set for my school’s musical when I hit my thigh with a screw that was still embedded into a piece of wood. I thought it just poked me, so I didn’t check my thigh under the pants I was wearing. Just now (~10pm), I was getting changed and I noticed that it had broken skin, and was bleeding. It didn’t go too deep, but it was enough for it to scab over and cause bruising around the wound. I’ve disinfected it and put a bandaid on it, but I don’t know if there’s anything else I need to do or worry about. I took a photo of it, but I’m not sure how to mark an image as NSFW/spoiler so it’s blurred. I’m also not sure how up to date on my tetanus shots I am. Is there anything else I should do?
