A few months after I had my last tetanus shot I was wandering about on our property (which has been farmland as well as garden, so even more likely to have tetanus around) when I stood on a four-inch nail hidden in the soil. It went in an inch or so (through my shoe). When I recovered from the shock, I was *very* glad I'd had that shot.

It's amazing how many rusty nails there are on properties! Although, I've read of women who have suffered merely from a scratch from a bush.

Ouch, for your poor foot.

That is a very timely reminder - I really should get mine done.

Glad to be a good public servant!

Yay Peonies! Beautiful. Mine should be out soon.

Peonies are such beautiful flowers. I've seen some singles blooming around town, but my photo is from a previous spring. I have lots of buds ready to go in just a few days.

Good to know... and yes. I'm up on my shots. (happily)

It was interesting to read that the richer and more organic the soil, the higher the danger.

Hopefully, your brother's severe reaction is indicative that he is fully protected. How frightening that he had such a reaction.
