Rust itself doesn’t cause tetanus. It’s bacteria.

does rust play some part in tetanus? i thought it did. does the bacteria come from the rust?

Tetanus bacteria lives in dirt. Cutting yourself on a rusty dirty object gives it a way into your bloodstream.

nodewarrior1 t1_itei1ih wrote

why is it associated with stepping on rusty nails. or rust like objects cutting ppl?

Rust greatly increases the surface area where the bacteria can live. Puncture wounds are more likely to impart the bacteria. Metal in soil is a common source of puncture wounds and metal sitting around in soil is rusty.

Nope. Rust does help in that it makes the surface of an object pitted giving it more surface area for bacteria to inhabit but that’s about it.

hmmm strange i was always under the impression it was rust that cause lock jaw tettnus from hearing stories about ppl stepping on rusty nails and dying. rust literally contributes nothing to it. i feel so dumb noww

The rusty nail thing is probably a big part of why the myth came to be. Metal in soil is a great way to make it rust while also harboring the bacteria.

Exactly, I've cooked on my rusted out cast iron pan dozens of times before re-seasoning it in the past. No lockjaw here.

Consider getting it rechromed, then it'll be ready for another 60 years of service.

I’d go for nickel plating. Looks just a little more refined than chrome to me.

javaavril t1_ithhg82 wrote

While I do agree that nickel is a finer finish, replating in nickel while it is embossed as "chrome steel" would be so disordered in my brain!

If OP doesn't have pendant issues they should totally do that though :)

sigma_hyperborean t1_ithhwna wrote

Chrome steel here doesn’t refer to the plating, it refers to the alloy - chrome is added to the steel itself to improve corrosion resistance

You're comment here, of information I already knew, has no impact or alteration for my personal opposition to nickel plating in this scenario.

get all the rust off. then take a magnify glass and just look it over to make sure all the rust is off

a lot of food vendors in india make food products sometimes with rusty stuff.... gets ppl very sick. then someone attacks their food stall etc.

Rust doesn’t make people sick, it might taste bad but it won’t do anything more than that if eaten

This is correct. Rust does not cause illness. Bacteria cause illness.

I’ve got a similar one from my parents that’s as old as I can remember 60+ years, the blade has never been sharpened and still cuts potatoes cleanly. Seen a lot of potatoes coming from a family of 8.

Wow… I was just making what I thought was an obvious joke. I geuss this sub isn’t for the non serious

IamMagicarpe t1_itgt4qa wrote

You didn’t even acknowledge their reply, so it came off as super rude, at least to me.

totallypooping OP t1_itgtfva wrote

I didn’t acknowledge because I’m a busy person and I don’t have all day to spend on Reddit replying to things. It was clearly a joke and it bombed. That’s what happens sometimes with senses of humor and strangers. I don’t care and I’m moving on with my life and deleting this post as I have other things to do. Have a good day

Careful of your fingers!

These things are great for processing vegetables, but they'll fuck your shit up if you're not careful.

What is a dremmel? Google doesn’t come up with anything?

seamallowance t1_itf8zoc wrote

One “M”

imissapostrophes t1_itfh5my wrote

Ah, they mean a Dremel! Why would OP decapitalize it and add an ‘m’?

2

johndoest t1_itfjqyr wrote

He capitalised it because it’s a brand name. He added an extra m by mistake.

1

imissapostrophes t1_itfkeyu wrote

No, they decapitalized it although it’s a brand name… Which, together with the added ‘m’, made it unrecognizable.
