Is It Possible to Get Gangrene From Rusted Scissors ? Posted: 05-18-07 22:07pm
Let me start off by saying I'm one of
those people that gets paranoid easily
about almost anything, and I become
obsessed with it until I get my answers
cleared. Also, let me mention this
situation is a little embaressing to be
sharing with total strangers, but I'm
paranoid and anxious for some advice.
I do shave 'down there' and recently I
noticed I had to trim it some before
finishing, so I grabbed a pair of scissors
(hands still a little wet from the water)
and started snipping. Now afterwards when
I was done I realized the sciccors had a
little bit of rust on them and that's when
the paranoia started to kick in. Is it
possible I could of somehow gotten
gangrene inside my private area? I didn't
see nor feel any wounds/cuts of any sort.
Can it only happen to areas that are
wounded? Could it be possible it went
inside? I used normal body wash soap to
clean the area but..I don't know. I know
this probably sounds silly to you all, and
down right weird but I'm just like this.
Also, I apologize if I placed this in the
wrong area.

I'm sure you're fine. Just make sure you
use cleaner scissors and get a tetanus
shot if you haven't had one in the past 10
years. If you are still concerned then
see your dr.
