I went and got the tetanus shot yesterday and I got the bad headache afterward. Now this morning I feel fine. I hope I'll be ok.

I think this is what you're referring to: http://www.cnn.com/2011/HEALTH/08/17/amoeba.kids.deaths/index.html Looks like it has to enter through the nose. And its usually only in warm waters. I'm in Nebraska and the water has been quite cold.

I did get a minor headache a few hours after and just now for a few hours. THe most recent one was a "medium" headache and but it has since gone now that I ate something. What sickness is this? You're scaring me a bit.

I have not gotten any shot for anything since 7th grade, which was almost 20 years ago. I heard tetanus shots are awful. I'll do it if I got to though.

Hey guys, I was barely poked today with a fish hook today while fishing. It was just a small poke, did draw a little blood but not bad. However, it was from a hook that was sitting in some very very dirty water that I left in a bucket filled with pond water and bait. I mean probably tons of bacteria. The hood was only slightly rusty. I did rinse the hook off quickly before using it but that doesn't mean I got all the germs. I was reading stories like this: http://www.theherald.com.au/story/116488/deadly-infection-from-fish-hook-wound/ I'm new to fishing but I'm sure you guys get stuck with hooks all the time. And I'm also worried about tetanus shots. Should I go to the hospital or wait for symtoms?
