The injury itself could get infected, and absolute worst case scenario, you could lose your foot. I'd be more worried about whether or not your tetanus shot is up to date, myself. Tetanus is a very nasty disease.
Long story short--keep it clean and get your tetanus shot if it's been 8 or more years since the last one. |

You should go to your doctor and get a tetnis shot just to be safe. As long as it wasn't rusty you don't have anything major to worry about. But again, definitely get a tetnis shot. |

You can get Tetanus, it will develop into Gang Green and then you will die. Go get a tetanus shot NOW. |

There's a good possibility you could get a severe infection. If you had a tetaus shot within the past few years you should be good though. If not go to a doc and get one. |

If the nail was rusty, you need to see a doctor. Tetanus shot. Keep a check to see if redness appears. If redness does not appear it should be ok. Need to find out how long it's been since you had a tetanus shot. |

Tetanus shot is in order.
See a doc. You can't treat the puncture
"inside" your foot. It closed. |

You should have your doctor look at it. It depends how deep, if the nail was rusty and if you are up on your tetanus shot. You wouldn't want to get infection and have worse problems. |

If it was a rusty nail, you would have needed a tetanus shot if you hadn't had one lately. |

If left untreated I'm sure the nail will be OK....But if you go untreated you could get tetanus, which is most unpleasant....better see your Doc. |

huge risk of getting tetanus, which can cause lock jaw and freeze up your joints. cleaning the wound won't help.
Get the shot, it hurts for 2 days but trust me it's worth it. |

Well If you haven't had a tentus shot in 10 yrs.. You should go get one.. Lock jaw isn't something you want. |

You could develop tetanus which is a horrible disease. Go to the ER or a doctor and get a tetanus shot if you have not had one in a few years. |

Have you had a tetanus shot recently?
If not, you need to go to the Dr and be treated in 24 hours to avoid getting Tetanus which can cause Lockjaw and also be fatal. |

You could get tetanus. Here is what Yahoo Health says about it:
Tetanus is a disease caused by a bacterial infection. The bacteria make a toxin, or poison, that causes severe muscle spasms. Tetanus can be very dangerous, but you can get a shot to prevent it. Tetanus is also called "lockjaw" because muscle spasms in your jaw make it hard to open your mouth. Tetanus also causes seizures and makes it hard for you to swallow or breathe. |

You need a tetanus shot and possibly some antibiotics. See a doctor. You are in danger of getting a serious infection. |

You need to go have a tetanus shot. Tetanus is a nerve condition that occurs when humans become infected with a bacteria commonly found in the environment known as Clostridium tetani. Tetanus commonly causes muscle rigidity and painful spasms usually starting at the top of the body. Lockjaw is often the first symptom, followed by stiffness in the neck and abdomen and problems swallowing. Symptoms appear anywhere from days to weeks after infection. immunization is the best way to protect against tetanus. |
