The simple answer is that you could get tetanus.
Tetanus is a serious disease that attacks your nervous system. It causes locked jaw, neck stiffness, difficulty swallowing, rigidity of the stomach, muscle spasms, seizure-like activity, and death in about 10-20% of patients.
It is common in soil and spread through bacteria that enters the body through cuts in the skin, so you don't need to be near someone who is infected to get the disease.
The tetanus shot prevents you from getting tetanus, which is a deadly bacteria that gives you muscle spasms that can fracture spines. You can easily get tetanus from touching metal that is rusty, because it will most likely have tetanus bacteria on it.
it is a sort of illness you can get if you are cut by something rusty. one of the symptoms is lockjaw. if you get tetanus, you have to get a shot to make it go away.
If you don't get a tetanus shot and are exposed to the bacteria that causes tetanus, you may get the disease and possibly die.
Severe infection, possibly death.

When you're an adult, you don't have to get your tetanus shot every 10 years if you don't want to. Doctors don't have time to chase everybody to make sure they have their shots every 10 years. They have more important things to do than that. If you have diabetes, epilepsy, asthma, HIV, cancer or any other uncurable disease, your physician can force you to get vaccinated every 10 years. He/she can force you to get the flu shot every year if you have health problems. But as long as you're an adult and you have no health problems, they can't force you to get a tetanus shot. If you have a bad burn, a deep cut that requires stitches, an animal bite or a surgery, the doctors can force you to get your tetanus shot. If they don't force you to get your tetanus shot and you develop diphteria or the tetanus disease, you could sue the doctors. Or if you're in a position where you can't sue ( wich would probably be the case), your family would sue the doctors for you.
