What Vaccines To Take For Injury Caused By A Rusty Metal Object In Tongue ?
I ordered a greek salad from Pita Jungle and found a rusty metal object in eat while I was eating it and was stuck in the tongue by the object, there was a little bit of blood. Well today I am now having symptoms of a cold or virus and am wondering what on earth to do. I haven't had a tetanus shot in years and now I am worried I have caught something from that salad. I have already contacted the restaurant and their insurance company has contacted me but what I need to know is, what tests and vaccines will I need. Please help
