You can trust immune responses for all organisms except the anerobic Clostridium tetani. Get preventive immunization by a shot of Tetanus toxoid vaccine to be safe.
yes
No. If you need an antibiotic, see a doctor and get a prescription.
depends on which antibiotic you are using. For example, Azithromycin is a relatively safe and effective antibiotic. Where as Vancomycin, is a highly effective antibiotic (covers MRSA) but has a lot of morbidities associated w/ it (hearing loss, kidney malfunction, etc).
A booked case is when the pregnant lady has had a minimum of three visits for antenatal checkup after she was registered and confirmed pregnant the lady should have took a minimum of 100 tablets of iron and calcium during her second trimester should have took two doses of tetanus toxoid if it was her first pregnancy and now should be in her third trimester and should have come for a safe confinement.
Be no the safe side and have a tetanus shot.
Tetanus isn't even found in rust, it's an archaebacteria that lives in soil. Tetanus can't survive in water. The only way you can get tetanus is to expose an open wound to contaminated soil. The only reason people associate rust with tetanus is that if you cut yourself with something rusty and get dirt on it you run the risk of catching tetanus. So, in conclusion, it is perfectly safe for you to go swimming.
It is common for pregnant women to have to take antibiotics at times when pregnant. It depends on the specific antibiotic and the dosage as to whether it's safe for the baby or not. Your dentist or ob/gyn will be able to tell you which ones are safe to take. But never self medicate with antibiotics you already have, or with antibiotics given to you by someone else (relative, friend, etc.) even if you are not pregnant.
The rifampin in the semen will not cause any problems, but their semen may not be safe to ingest. Rifampin is an antibiotic given for many reasons, including STD's. If the rifampin is being given for an STD then it would not be safe to ingest the semen, not because it has the rifampin in it, but because it may still have infectious particles in it.
Yes. This antibiotic is safe to be used during pregnancy. But you should not take any antibiotic without advice of your physician.
As soon as possible. You really don't want to wait because the area that was punctured can get infected and the blood stream has been exposed as well. Go to the ER or get a doctor appointment IMMEDIATELY and get it taken care of, for your own health
