Rusty nails are more likely to harbour virii and bacteria than bright clean ones, due to their roughened surfaces, but the rusting does not produce the micro-organisms. They can be sterilised by heat or disinfectant.
Tetanus can result from stepping on a rusty nail. It is a bacterial infection--not a disease-- that attacks the nervous system. It causes painful muscle contractions and can kill if untreated.It is said that stepping on a rusty nail will cause tetanus or lockjaw. But it isn't the rust that causes the disease, it is the bacteria that is found on the nail (or splinter or even an insect bite).Anything that has a tiny bit of dirt on it can carry the obligate anaerobic bacterium Clostridium tetani. This microbe doesn't like oxygen and a deep poke with a nail will produce an environment that it will thrive in. It produces a neurotoxin that causes muscles to contact all together with enough to break bones.
Tetanus, a bacterial infection caused by Clostridium tetani, can be contracted from a rusty nail or any object that introduces the bacteria deep into the body where oxygen levels are low. The bacteria produce a toxin that affects the nervous system, leading to severe muscular spasms and potentially life-threatening complications. It is important to stay up to date with tetanus vaccinations to prevent this disease.
An autoclave typically takes about 15-20 minutes to sterilize items.
Heat fixing does not sterilize a slide, as it only helps to adhere the specimen to the slide and preserve cellular structures. To sterilize a slide, additional methods such as using ultraviolet light, chemicals, or autoclaving would be necessary.
A nail follicle is the pocket of skin that surrounds the base of a nail. It is responsible for producing the keratin cells that make up the nail plate, aiding in the growth and maintenance of the nail. The health of the nail follicle is important for the overall strength and appearance of the nail.
