Most likely you will be ok. Tetanus is fairly uncommon to get from a surface type wound. If it was a pretty deep puncture id be alot more worried. Assuming you cleaned it pretty fast, and pretty well, I think you will be just fine. If the area starts to feel warm/hot, thats when to go to the doc ASAP

Honestly, if your in the states and pay for medical anything, I wouldnt go. Wait til it gets hot/warm feeling, then go. Its almost certainly fine on its own as long as you werent punctured too deep.

I think tetanus shots last like 10 years, don't they? But yeah, its always a good idea to go to the doc for stuff like that. From what I hear, lockjaw is a bastard.

Tetanus shots are good for 10 years, but if you get a wound that could have exposed you to tetanus and you haven't had a shot within the last 5, they usually go ahead and give you another. I got one a couple years back when i cut my hand doing dishes and needed stitches, and that is what the doc told me.
peace

I'm confused, were you hunting or hunting for mushrooms?

the fact that it's the shroomery doesn't preclude people from discussing hunting in the pub.
Damn that confounded bob wire.
