Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

I dont think there is too much to worry about. What you can probably do is wash your wounds well, and get an injection of tetanus toxoid. antibiotics may be added depending on the depth of the wounds. similarly bandaging as per the depth of the wound is advisable


I hope this helps you. Best of luck.
