DTaP for kitchen grease burn?
Hello all, so glad I found this group. Just tried to go to the Facebook Group and found out it's banned apparently which let me here. I made a mistake today cooking and burned my hand, hot grease poured off my cast iron when I went to dump and clean it and burned the back part of hand. looks to be about 4 by 4 inches of burn area so I went to my doctor's office 2 hours later - very nice people. They prescribed me to use Manuka honey wound gel and then to use a Mepilex and keep it wrapped. I cleaned it well before hand with just cool water and soap. Just some pain now from the burn. I'm also scheduling a follow up with the local burn clinic just to have it looked at that they recommended. They also recommended that I get a DTaP for Tetanus shot and I was really surprised because I didn't realize that was for burns. I told them I'm very scared of shots and that I need some time to think about it and they did not pressure me, but I got very scared for a moment. The video clips I watched online about DTaP basically talks about it doesn't work and it takes weeks for the antibodies to start working anyways so it wouldn't even help me with this injury. I plan on taking a lot of Vitamin C either way, going to pick up some Vitamin C pills at the local pharmacy. Thanks for any information.
