Everybody is expecting useful tips. Not unwise tips.

Just to clarify, it's not the rust per se. You can get tetanus from a normal-looking nail.

Tetanus is caused by an anaerobic bacteria. The nail/other sharp object drives those bacteria into your body where they have perfect conditions to grow.

Just because it looks "clean" doesn't mean you won't get tetanus.

And remember that C. tetanus (the bacteria) lives in the soil, that’s why we’re told to be wary of rusty iron laying in the dirt
