[|Human|] if I get pricked by a tuna can while picking it up, will I get infected?I am working at I found somebody left a couple of empty tuna cansI try to pick it up and it pricked on my pinky. The tuna can cover are sharp.Very sharp. Will I get infection? My pinky is not bleeding though
[|AI|]  It is always possible to get an infection from a puncture injury. If it was not severe it is probably unlikely. It would depend on how contaminated the cans were. Clean the area well and keep an eye on it the next couple of days. If redness, heat, swelling, or tenderness develop, that might indicate infection. Also be sure you are up-to-date on your tetanus immunization. If you've had a tetanus shot in the last 10 years, you are okay, otherwise you should get one. Hope this helps.
